Latch
w Install two AA (LR6) size Ni-MH batteries.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
■ Caution
• R DANGER! NEVER short the battery terminals (or charg-
ing terminals on the bottom of the receiver). Also, current
may flow into nearby metal objects such as a necklace, so
be careful when placing batteries (or the receiver) in hand-
bags, etc.
Simply carrying with or placing near metal objects such as
a necklace, etc. may cause shorting. This may damage not
only the batteries, but also the receiver.
• R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used batteries. Internal
battery gas may cause an explosion.
• R DANGER! NEVER immerse the batteries in water. If the
batteries become wet, be sure to wipe them dry BEFORE
installing them to the receiver.
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old bat-
teries together.
• Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged.
• Keep battery terminals clean to avoid rust or misscontact.
It’s a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week.
D Caution for the Ni-MH batteries
• CAUTION: Always use the batteries within the speci-
fied temperature range, –5˚C to +60˚C (+23˚F to +140˚F).
Using the batteries out of their specified temperature range
will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.
