Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to check
initial operations; they may not last over a long
period. We recommend using alkaline batteries
that have a longer life.
WARNING
! Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight
or other excessively hot place, such as inside a
car or near a heater. This can cause batteries
to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It
can also reduce the life or performance of
batteries.
CAUTION
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such
hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the
following precautions:
! Never use new and old batteries together.
! Insert the plus and minus sides of the
batteries properly according to the marks in
the battery case.
! Batteries with the same shape may have
different voltages. Do not use different
batteries together.
! When disposing of used batteries, please
comply with governmental regulations or
environmental public instruction's rules that
apply in your country or area.
