Install Two “D” Cell Alkaline Batteries

WARNING

To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries must only 
be changed in an area known to be non-hazardous (i.e., free of 
combustible gas).

CAUTION

Use only Duracell

®

 MN1300 “D” size batteries to maintain 

intrinsically safe approval.

1.

Remove the battery cover by releasing the latch and sliding the cover down and 
off the handle. You may need a small flat-blade screwdriver to assist with 
releasing the latch.

2.

Install two Duracell

®

 MN1300 “D” size alkaline batteries as shown in 

Figure 1

3.

Reinstall the battery cover by aligning it in the grooves on the handle and sliding 
it up the handle until it latches.

NOTE:

If the Battery indicator flashes or if the Battery and highest signal indicator 
both flash, the batteries are low and should be replaced.

NOTE:

Dispose of depleted alkaline batteries according to applicable state and 
local regulations. In the absence of such regulations, recycle and/or 
dispose of batteries through voluntary waste recycling programs.
