Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easy to separate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), expandable polystyrene (buffer), polyethylene (bags, protective foam).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

BATTERIES (OPTIONAL)

Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type R-20, UM-4 or D-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the compartment.

Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.

–

Do not mix battery types

Only use batteries of the same type for the set.

– When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old

batteries with the new ones.

– Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long

time.
