PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material

from the unit.

Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set,

but do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.

We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in

case it ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the
only sure way to protect the unit from damage in transit.

If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly.

H.H. Scott cares about our environment.

POWER SOURCE

This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC house current. Connecting
this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which
is not covered by your warranty. You will note that this system is equipped with
a polarized AC power plug having one
blade wider than the other. This is a safety
feature. If this plug does not fit into your
existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this
safety feature by filing the wide blade to
make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will
not fit into your outlet, you probably have
an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You
should have your outlet changed by a
qualified licensed electrician.

AC Operation

1. Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.

2. Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:

1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.

3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries with fresh
ones.

4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury
from possible battery leakage.

5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow

battery manufacturer's directions.)
