cover by lifting the latch
and sliding the cover
off the back of the
Colorado.
2. Insert the batteries,
observing the diagram
molded into the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover
by sliding it back onto the
Colorado and fastening
the latch.
NOTE:
Remove batteries when you do not plan to use
the Colorado for several months. Stored data is not lost
when batteries are removed.
