• Switch the device off. The button ON/OFF must not be depressed.
• Press the red release knob above the hand grip and open the red housing lid.
• Insert six new 1.5V mono cells (D) in the battery compartment, paying attention to the polarity.
The correct polarity is indicated in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment again by shutting the housing lid. The housing lid must snap
into place.
• If the maximum volume decreases or the device no longer works, the batteries are depleted
and need to be replaced.
• To ensure a long battery life, only use alkaline types.
• The use of rechargeable batteries means a lower luminous power and shorter operating time
because of the lower volume level and capacity.

Inserting Batteries / Replacing Batteries
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Ensure the polarity is correct, when inserting the batteries.
Remove the batteries, if you are not going to use the megaphone for a while, to
prevent damage from leaking batteries. Leaking or damaged batteries/rechar-
geable batteries can cause acid burns upon contact with skin. Thus, you should
wear protective gloves when handling damaged batteries/rechargeable
batteries.
Keep them out of the reach of children. Never use batteries from different
manufacturers or with different levels of discharge at the same time.
The battery must not be short-circuited or thrown into a fire. Do not attempt to
recharge the batteries. There is danger of explosion.
