Installing the Batteries

1. 

Remove the battery cover form the back of the unit.

2. 

Insert  2  AAA  alkaline  batteries,  making  sure  that  the  +  and  -  are  in  the  correct 

direction. 

Always use new batteries.

3. 

Replace and close the battery cover.

Changing the Batteries

1.

When battery power becomes low, a battery life warning signal will appear in                       

the unit’s LCD display.

If, at this time you change the batteries, recording will continue uninterrupted and all data will be 

saved for downloading.

2.

If the batteries are not changed and power becomes even lower, SLP will 

appear in the LCD display.

The unit will automatically go into sleep mode in order to protect the data and all normal operations 

will stop. If you change the batteries at this point, it is still possible to download all saved recorded 
data.

3.

If the batteries are further left unchanged, the display will automatically shut off.

If all battery power is lost, all data will be lost as well.
