Battery Notes

destroy electronic circuits.

(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.

for scanning for a short time. When the backup batteries becomes too
low, appears. Promptly replace the batteries.
• When you either install batteries or connect the AC Adapter to a
