(Appropriate Tightening Torque: 20N cm to 30N cm{2Kgf cm to 3Kgf cm}) Notes about Battery Installation - After inserting the battery for the  rst time, nothing may appear or occur for about 10 seconds; this is not a malfunction. - If a new battery has been installed and nothing appears in the display, please remove and reinsert the battery. - When inserting a battery, make sure no water or foreign objects get inside the case. - Make sure that + and - are in the correct direction. About Lithium Batteries - Lithium batteries CR2 sold in stores may also be used, but if you are using in an environment below -20°C, above 60°C, or in a situation such as transportation where continued vibration is likely to occur, we strongly suggest the purchase and use of the our lithium battery LS14250. (Please purchase the optional battery set TR-11P2 in which LS14250 is included.) - When using a LS14250 type lithium battery, even though a new battery has been inserted the battery warning mark may remain on for a short time. This is due to a special characteristic of the battery. Note that the longer the battery has been in storage the longer the amount of time, from 10 minutes to about 1 hour, the battery warning mark will remain on. If during that time the Base Unit is used to get the current status of the Remote Unit, the remaining battery level will show that the battery level is low. - Please store the lithium battery LS14250 in a place that is 20 °C or less. - When changing a CR2 battery, we strongly suggest changing the rubber packing and the drying agent. Please purchase the maintenance set TR-00P1 sold separately. RTR-505 is a Remote Unit. In order to use wireless communication,it is necessary to purchase a Base Unit separately.
