Your New York Times
Touch SuDoku game
requires two AAA batter-
ies. To install batteries,
carefully turn it over so
that the top side is face-
down on a soft surface,
such as a towel or maga-
zine. You’ll find the battery
compartment on the unit’s
back.
Use a small Phillips
screwdriver to remove the
screw. Lift off the battery
compartment lid. Install
two AAA batteries, making
sure to match the polarity
(+ and -) with the diagram
inside the battery compart-
ment. Place the tabs of the
battery compartment in
their slots, and snap the
compartment door back on.
Replace the screw and
tighten it carefully.
