Note

• Use AA batteries. Though rechargeable nickel hydrogen 

batteries can also be used, the battery level indicator does 
not show the full charge state even if they are fully-charged.

• Remove the batteries if the product is not used for prolonged 

periods.

• When the battery level indicator is blinking only with a frame 

(refer to page 13), replace the batteries with new ones.

• Do not mix a new battery with an old battery.
• When disposing of the used batteries, follow the related laws 

and/or regulations of your country.

(1) Hook the claws (2 places) on the opposite side of the
