PREPARATION

INSTALLING/REPLACING 
BATTERIES

You need two AA batteries to power the
ET-196. For the longest operation and
best performance, we recommend alka-
line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 23-557.

Cautions: 

• Use only fresh batteries of the

required size and recommended
type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,

different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove

the screw on the battery compart-
ment cover.

2. Slide the battery compartment cover

in the direction of the arrow to
remove it.

3. Put two AA batteries into the com-

partment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

4. Replace the cover and secure it with

the screw.
