1. Inserting batteries
The VMS 5 U operates from six AA
(LR 6) cells (included). Primary cells
(preferably alkaline) can be used, or
rechargeables such as NiCd or NiMH.
To insert batteries, turn the unit off
and open the battery compartment on
the underside by turning the slotted
button in the lid (perhaps with the aid
of a coin) one quarter turn in either
direction.
Please note:
The orientation of the batteries is
shown on the battery holders:
All batteries must go in the
same direction!
Make sure that the battery contacts
are kept clean. If necessary, clean the
contacts with a pencil eraser.
After inserting batteries, close the
battery compartment lid and lock it by
turning the slotted button a quarter
turn in either direction until it clicks
into place.
