MF5 Preparation

To prepare the detector for use, conduct the following procedure:
1� Remove from the case / bag
Open the Hard Transit Case and / or
Carry Bag.
2� Inspect for damage
Inspect for obvious signs of damage.
If damage is evident, report to the
supervisor / team leader.
3� Insert batteries
Unlock the Battery Compartment Lid
by twisting the Battery Locking Lever
counter clockwise one-quarter turn.
Once unlocked, pull the lid away from
the Battery Compartment — the lid
will stay attached by a tether.
Using the battery map located on
the side of the Main Body, insert four
C cell batteries. Taking care not to
snag or trap the tether, replace the
Battery Compartment Lid and rotate
the Battery Lock Lever clockwise
one-quarter turn. If the batteries are
inserted incorrectly, the detector will
fail to function when switched on.
