LOADING THE BATTERIES
The MD-12 is powered by eight 1.5V penlight (AA size) batter-
ies which are housed in the unit's battery chamber. To load or
replace batteries, turn the coinslotted locking screw on the bat-
tery chamber lid counterclockwise. The lid will come loose and
the battery clip, which forms a single unit with the lid, can be
removed. Load the batteries, taking care that they are inserted
correctly. Referring to the diagrams on the sides of the clip that
show the correct ~vay to insert the batteries, ensure that the
positive (+) and negative ( - ) terminals of the batteries are prop-
erly positioned. If the batteries are loaded incorrectly, not only
will they be depleted—the motor drive could also be damaged.
When the batteries are correctly positioned, replace the battery
clip. Push the chamber iid down gently until it seats correctly;
then, tighten the locking screw on the lid with a coin or similar
object until the battery clip fits securely into the battery cham-
ber.
