Replacing the batteries
Replace the baeries when the power buon blinks.
As the baeries run low, you might hear noise or
interruptions in the sound.
Unusable baeries should be removed immediately. If
unusable baeries are left installed in the unit, they may
leak, causing malfunctions. You should also remove the
baeries if you don’t plan to use the unit for an extended
time.
Be sure to replace all six baeries together as a set. Do not
mix fresh baeries with used baeries in the same set.
