Installing Batteries
Your New York Times SuDoku Plug & Play requires four
AAA batteries, not included. To install batteries, carefully
turn the unit over so that it is face-down on a soft surface.
Find the battery compartment on the back of the unit.
Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw.
Lift off the battery compartment lid. Install the batteries,
making sure to match polarity (+ and -) with the diagram
inside the battery compartment. Place the tab of the battery
compartment lid in its slot and close the compartment door.
Replace the screw and tighten it carefully.
