Battery Installation/Removal
The Lightning Bug™
case incorporates a battery compartment at the rear of the
unit. A small latch unlocks a removable battery compartment door.
A standard 9 Volt battery is required for operation. To insert it, gently pull the 9V
connector wires out from the compartment and attach a battery. The leads will
only allow the battery to be connected in one direction, and snap the leads in
place.
After installation of the battery, the compartment door should be replaced – it
snaps into position with an audible click.
To remove the battery, reverse the process.
Please note:
MK Controls does not recommend leaving the battery in place during long storage periods.
There is a slight current draw whenever the battery is installed, and after a period of months
the battery may no longer have sufficient operating power if left in the Lightning Bug
TM
during
long-term storage. In addition, batteries can, on occasion, leak electrolytes. This fluid is
corrosive, and can damage the circuitry of the Lightning Bug
™
, in addition to the battery
connector. The Lightning Bug
™
Warranty does not cover damage due to a leaking battery.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use in the Lightning Bug™ due to the current
consumption characteristics of the circuitry during operation.
