Replacing The Batteries
To replace the locators’ batteries, switch the unit
OFF, open the battery cover and unclip the
batteries. Refit 8 new 1.5V LR6 (AA) alkaline
batteries and close the cover.
To replace the transmitter batteries switch the unit
OFF, unclip the cover using a coin to release the
catches and remove the old batteries. Place 4 new
1.5V LR20 (D) alkaline batteries, refit the battery
cover and ensure the catches are correctly locked.
Dispose of the used battery in a responsible
manner.
