3 Batteries
3.1 Battery Selection
To avoid leakage and poor autonomy, it is highly recommended that only good quality, new and
identical alkaline batteries be inserted in the 1917-R. Good quality rechargeable batteries can
also be used with the 1917-R and recharged with an external charger.
The batteries need to be replaced if the 1917-R displays “LO BATT” on its digital display or if it
does not power-up when the I/O control key is pressed
3.2 Battery Installation
- Place the 1917-R face down on a flat surface.
- Lift the kickstand.
- Open and remove the battery door.
- Insert one battery in the nylon strap (to ease removal) and insert it at one end of the 1917-R
battery compartment, making sure to observe the correct battery polarity. Insert the other
batteries over the nylon strap observing the correct polarity so that pulling on the strap will
pull every battery out of the 1917-R. To avoid intermittent contact and involuntary
disconnection, insert the batteries firmly.
- Replace the battery door.
