PREPARATION
CONNECTING TO POWER
You can power the receiver from internal batteries, standard AC
power, or your vehicle’s battery.
Installing Batteries
You can use three AA batteries (not supplied) to power the receiv-
er. For the best results and longest life, we recommend alkaline
batteries such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteries of the required size and recom-
mended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment cover by
pressing on the dotted portion and slid-
ing it in the direction of the arrow below.
2. Slide three AA batteries into
the compartment according to
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Close the cover.
