INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The Geko 301 operates on two AAA batteries (not included), installed in the back of the
unit. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover by inserting a coin (quarter) in the
bottom slot. Twist the coin to lift the cover up and pull away. Insert the batteries, observ-
ing proper polarity. Attach the battery cover by inserting the tab end into the back slot at
an angle, laying it fl at, and then pushing it forward until the clip catches. Alkaline batteries
should last as long as 9 hours. Rechargeable Alkaline, NiMH, NiCad or Lithium batteries
may be used, but cannot be charged while in the unit.
