Battery Installation - Cognisys Scout Owner's Manual

2.4 Battery Installation

Battery installation is a simple process and because the Scout Receiver has excellent battery life
– you won't have to do it often!
The Receiver requires six AA (LR6) batteries. You can use either alkaline or rechargeable
varieties. For details about maximizing battery life see section "5.6 - Maximum Battery Life".
1. Be sure the Receiver is clean prior to replacing the batteries otherwise dirt may
compromise the weatherproof seal.
2. Remove the four screws from the back-side of the Receiver using a Philips screwdriver.
3. Remove the Receiver's back cover.
4. Install the six batteries.
5. Align and push back cover onto the Receiver.
6. Install screws being careful not to cross-thread them – do not overtighten!
You can also power the Scout Receiver with external power using the optional power cable
available here:

You do not need to remove the internal batteries when using external power but you should
remove the batteries if the Receiver will not be used for an extended period.
