  The battery compartment - On/Off is operated by the battery 

compartment on the back of the device. If it is difficult to close the 
battery door: Check that the battery is inserted correctly and the “+” 
symbol is facing upwards. If the battery is not inserted correctly, the 
device will not work and the battery door can be damaged. 

 

Low power: You will hear two beeps when the battery is low. You will 
have approximately 30 minutes to change the battery. 

                      

We recommend that you always have a new battery on hand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The tube and dome need to be changed every 6 months. This is 

because they can become blocked due to wax and dirt and 
potentially affects the output from the WNG. If they become 
completely blocked it may seem like the device has stopped working 
all together. (Further information is in this booklet regarding cleaning 
and changing tubes and domes) 

  The tubes are also colour co-ordinated.
