PREPARATION
Your system’s display is prot ected by a piece of plasti c film during shipment. Peel off this film before you use the system.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You need four AAA batteries (not supplied) to protect the system’s memory during a power failure. For the lo ngest operation
and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-555.
Cautions:
• Always use fresh batteri es of th e req uire d s ize and rec om mended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
Notes:
• When you replace the batteries, do not press any buttons
on the system after you remov e the old b atteries . Doing so
could erase all stored information.
