Service Information

Battery Replacement

The central amber light will illuminate when the battery power is low
and the battery needs to be replaced.

Slide back the battery cover (use a penknife or coin, if necessary), tilt
the detector and the battery will slip out.

Before installing the new battery, look inside the battery compartment
and note the locations of the small and large battery contact
openings.

Install the new battery with the proper orientation to align the battery

posts with the openings.

If a 9V battery is improperly installed, no circuitry damage wi1l occur;

however, the Blaze Detecting Wand will not operate.

Because the battery cover will not close tightly if the battery is inserted
improperly, never force the cover.

When the Blaze Detecting Wand is to be stored for more than 30 days,
remove battery.
