Installation/Replacement
Since batteries are not installed in the unit at the factory, you will
need to install them.
Three AA batteries have been included with your purchase. When
replacing the batteries, we recommend use of the following for a
minimum of one year normal operation:
•
Duracell MN1500
•
Energizer E91
•
Rayovac 815
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
Note: Constant exposure to high or low humidity may reduce
battery efficiency.
