Changing The Battery - Boss Super Octave OC-3 Owner's Manual

Changing the Battery

When the indicator goes dim or no longer
lights while an effect is on, it means that the
battery is nearly dead and must be replaced.
Replace the battery following the steps below.
* The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's
power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to
use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
