Figure 4-1. Battery Installation and Selector Switch
Using a pointed instrument, such as a pencil, set the Battery-Selector
Switch to “NICAD” or “ALKALINE” position to match the type of
battery used.
NICAD Position . This position connects the internal battery charge
circuitry to charge the NiCad batteries when the AC Adapter is
connected.
Never set the switch to this position when using alkaline
batteries.
ALKALINE Position . The internal battery charge circuitry is
disconnected because alkaline batteries are
not rechargeable.
WARNING: The Battery-Selector Switch MUST be in the
“ALKALINE” position when using alkaline batteries.
Alkaline batteries can explode if the AC Adapter is
used with alkaline batteries with the Battery-Selector
Switch in the “NICAD” position; warranty is voided if
this happens.
