BATTERY INSTALLATION

Each Communicator unit operates on four ‘AAA’ size batteries.

1. Remove the Battery Door (#1) from the back cabinet by unclipping the lock at the bottom of the door and lifting it

upwards.

2. Following the polarity diagram shown inside the battery compartment, insert four ‘AAA’ size batteries. Replace

the

Battery Door (#1) and lock.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Wrong polarity may damage the unit.

3. For better performance and longer operating time, we recommend the use of alkaline-type batteries.

4. Do not mix old and new batteries.

5. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (Ni-MH) batteries.

6. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old or leaking batteries can

cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

WRIST STRAP AND DETACHABLE BELT CLIP INSTALLATION

The Wrist Strap and Detachable Belt Clip are provided to enable you to carry the

palm-sized Communicator easily and safely.

1. To use the Wrist Strap, simply attach it to the hole just above the Belt-clip (#3). Feed the small loop on the end

of the strap through the hole and then pass the strap through the loop and pull tight.
