Prior to installing the battery, make sure the switch (1, Fig.1) is

time of conventional battery and provides better performance at
low temperatures.
To install battery unscrew the battery compartment cover (6,

battery type adapter. Observe the polarity indicated on the
housing. Put the battery in and screw the battery cover back on.
