5. Troubleshooting

Device Not Powering On

• Check Polarity: Ensure batteries are inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.
• Replace Batteries: If the device still does not power on, the batteries may be depleted. Replace them with a fresh set of Amazon Basics D-cell batteries.
• Device Malfunction: If new batteries do not resolve the issue, the problem may lie with the device itself. Consult the device's user manual or manufacturer for further assistance.

Battery Leakage

While designed to be leak-free, in rare instances, battery leakage can occur. If you notice any leakage:

• Carefully remove the leaking battery, avoiding direct contact with skin.
