INSTALLING/REPLACING
BATTERIES
Your computer requires three AA bat-
teries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.
Important: If you are replacing the
computer's batteries, make sure you
turn off the computer before opening
the battery compartment cover. This
saves the current game in the com-
puter. Your computer saves any
games in its memory for about 30
seconds after you remove the batter-
ies.
1. To save the current game and
turn off the computer, press

ING/OFF
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw from the bat-
tery compartment cover, then lift
off the cover.

the chess board display, and the

Note: If the computer does not
operate properly, you might need
to reset it. See "Resetting the
Computer" on Page 5.
4. Replace the cover and secure it
with the screw.
When the display dims, the sound be-
comes weak or distorted, or the com-
puter stops
replace the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the
computer for a month or more, re-
move the batteries. Batteries can leak
