Inserting the batteries 
 
Your  Nova®  is  powered  by  6  x  AA  batteries  (also  called  MN1500  or  LR6).  We 
recommend  that  you  use  alkaline,  lithium  or  high  quality  rechargable  batteries  to  give 
the best performance.  
 
Remove  the  battery  cover  by  loosening  the  captive  battery  cover  retaining  screw  (as 
shown  below).  The  included  Pulsar  Instruments  keyring  is  designed  exactly  for  this 
purpose. 
 
 
Please  look  carefully  at  the  diagram  inside  the  battery  compartment  that  shows  the 
correct polarity. After inserting the batteries in the correct orientation, replace the cover 
and tighten the battery cover retaining screw. 
   
Whenever the instrument is not used for a long period of time, 
remove  the  batteries  to  prevent  damage  from  leakage. 
Damage  caused  by  leaking  batteries  is  NOT  covered  by  the 
warranty.
