Installing the battery
Depending on usage, the handheld can operate for weeks using a
single AA alkaline battery. The handheld will work best if you use a
standard, high quality alkaline battery. We recommend against
using Lithium AA batteries or ULTRA batteries. These types of
batteries will provide the same amount of battery life as an alkaline,
but they cost more. The handheld is a “low drain” device that
optimizes the power of a standard alkaline.
