Sneaker II  (600-4135)            Preparation          Faxback Doc. # 15190

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

The Sneaker II requires eight AA batteries (not supplied) and the
transmitter requires one 9-volt battery (not supplied).  You can use
alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552) or rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries for the Sneaker II, you also need a battery charger.

1.  Before loading the batteries, set the OFF/ON switch on the top of the
    Sneaker II to OFF.

2.  Turn the battery compartment cover's latch in the direction of
    the arrow.  Then remove the cover.

3.  Insert eight AA cell batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552) in the
    Sneaker II as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
    inside the compartment.

4.  Replace the cover and close the latch.

Transmitter

1.  Set the OFF/ON switch on the top of the Sneaker II to OFF.

2.  Press down on the transmitter's battery compartment cover and
    slide it off in the direction of the arrow.

3.  Install one 9-volt battery (Cat. No. 23-553) as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) marked on the bottom of the compartment.

4.  Replace the cover.

USING OPTIONAL NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES

You can also operate the Sneaker II with rechargeable nickel-cadmium
batteries such as Cat. No. 23-125.  This requires a charger, such as
Cat. No. 21-516.

CAUTION:  The battery charger must supply 18 volts, its center tip must be
          set to positive, it must deliver at least 50 milliamps, and its
          plug must correctly fit the Sneaker II's charging jack.  Using a
          battery charger that does not meet these requirements could
          seriously damage the Sneaker II, the batteries, or the battery
          charger.

Charge the batteries before use.  You can charge them in the Sneaker II
without removing them.  Be sure the ON/OFF switch on the top of the Sneaker
II is set to OFF.  Then plug the charger's barrel plug into the recharging
jack on the bottom of the Sneaker II.

Charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours.  Do not overcharge them.  You
can reduce useful battery life if you overcharge.

CAUTION:  Never mix nickel-cadmium batteries with other batteries such as
          alkaline batteries, or with nickel cadmium batteries of different
          capacities.

IMPORTANT:  The Sneaker II is capable of using rechargeable nickel-cadmium
            batteries.  At the end of the batteries' useful life, they must
            be recycled or disposed of properly.  Contact your local,
            county, or state hazardous waste management authorities for
            information on recycling or disposal programs in your area.
            Some options that might be available are:  municipal curbside
            collection, drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling collection
            centers, and mail-back programs.
