BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Two nine volt transistor batteries are located in separate
compartments at the rear of the housing. When it’s time to replace
batteries, always replace both of them.
1.
To open, press gently down and out on the battery
door latch. The doors are hinged, do not attempt to
completely remove them.
2.
Tilt the housing gently and the batteries will slide
out.
3.
Insert the new batteries. Make sure the contact
end goes in first and that you match the polarity
markings on the control housing.
4.
To close, hook the lower edge of the battery door
over the inside of the battery compartment and
gently push.
5.
Some battery brands may be slightly larger than
the original batteries, which will cause them to not
easily be removed.
Battery Replacement is simple; just pop the doors open,
slide the old batteries out and the new ones in.
