NOTES
•Batteries installed with incorrect polarities may leak
and damage this unit.
•Do not mix batteries (old and new) or types (carbon
and alkaline).
•If the set is not used for a long period of time, or is
used only from an AC power source, remove all the
batteries to prevent potential damage due to possi­

•Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of
heat. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to
direct sunlight for a long period of time with the
