Preparation

POWERING THE SYSTEM’S RECEIVER

You can power the system’s receiver using four C batteries or
an AC adapter (neither supplied).

Installing Batteries

The system’s receiver can use four C batteries (not supplied)
for power. For longest operation and best performance, we rec-
ommend alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack
store.

Cautions:

• Always use fresh batteries of the required size and recom-

mended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batter-

ies (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on the bat-

tery compartment cover, then lift and remove the cover.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screws.
