Setup Guide

Powering the Main Unit

• AC/DC Adaptor: For continuous backlight display, connect the included AC/DC adaptor to the main unit and a power outlet.
• 3 x AAA Batteries (Not Included): For portable use, insert 3 AAA batteries into the battery compartment. The display will turn off automatically after 10 seconds to conserve power. Touch the top "Snooze/Light" button to temporarily illuminate the display.
