Inserting the Batteries
Load the batteries by inserting them positive-end-
first into the battery compartment on the Impulse’s
back panel.
Twist the battery compartment cap
clockwise, finger tight, to secure it.
Warning:
Do not use the new style of AA
batteries with the “voltage check” feature built
into the cell.
The “voltage check” cells are slightly larger in
diameter and will cause problems when inserting
into and extracting from the battery compartment.
The diameter of the battery tube on your Impulse
was chosen carefully to allow easy in/out of normal
AA batteries with no excess room for cell shifting
and possible loss of contact. Note that voltage
check batteries will cause similar problems with
most standard metal tube AA flashlights. Laser
Technology will not be responsible for damage to
the unit as a result of trying to force these new style
cells in or out of the battery tube. Do
not
peel off
the voltage check wrapper; this can cause an
instrument short circuit.
In addition, the instrument has its own battery
voltage monitor, thus eliminating the need for
voltage check cells.
