4.5 Installing the Batteries
The RigiScan Plus Monitor uses either two DURACELL® 9-volt
alkaline batteries or two GOTOP approved rechargeable 9-volt
batteries. They must either be replaced or have been fully recharged
(if using GOTOP approved rechargeable batteries) before of each 10-
hour session. When you see the battery indicator light begin to blink,
that signals that the batteries don’t have enough power to record
another full 10-hour session.
CAUTION:
Turn the RigiScan Monitor “off” before replacing loop covers or removing
the Tension Guides/cables. Operating the Monitor without the Tension Guides in place may
damage the device or result in the inability to insert the Tension Guides.
