Installing the Batteries
As an alternative to USB bus power, you can use commercially
available AA nickel-metal hydride batteries or alkaline batteries to
power the unit.
* If USB bus power is being supplied, the unit uses USB bus power even if
batteries are installed.
1 Remove the battery cover.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and
knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.
2 Taking care to observe the correct orientation of the
batteries, insert the batteries into the battery case.
3 Close the battery cover.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage.
Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries
that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES”
(leaflet “Read Me First”).
