2. Setup

2.1. Battery Installation

The Konus Multi Digit device requires standard batteries (type not specified, assume common small batteries like CR2032 or AAA). To install:

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
2. Use a small screwdriver or coin to open the cover, if necessary.
