Inserting batteries / replacing batteries
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries.
Remove the batteries when the device is not being used for long periods of time.
Leaking or damaged batteries can cause burning if they come into contact with the skin.
For this reason you should use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into fire. Do not attempt to
recharge the batteries. There is danger of explosion.
• Switch the device off. The button ON/OFF must not be depressed.
• Press the release knob above the hand grip and open the red housing lid.
• Insert four new 1.5V mono cells (D) in the battery compartment, paying attention to the polarity. The correct
polarity is stated in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment again by shutting the housing lid. The latches of the release knob must snap
into place.
• If the maximum volume decreases or the device does no longer work the batteries are discharged and have
to be replaced.
