4.0 Set-up

The unit is powered by four AA alkaline batteries (provided with the unit). Rechargeable and

lithium batteries may also be used.

NOTE: Never mix battery types. For proper operation, use all alkaline, NiCad, etc.

types. When replacing batteries, always replace all four cells.

Access the battery compartment by unscrewing and removing the bottom cap (see figure 1A).

Remove the battery holder and insert four AA batteries into the holder, being careful to observe

correct polarity (see figure 1B). After the batteries are installed, insert the holder into the battery

cup and gently snap the holder onto the contacts. Re-attach the bottom cap. The

ReferenceMate is now ready to operate.

The shaker does not contain a battery charging system. If rechargeable batteries are used, they

must be charged external to the shaker.
