4. Getting Started

4.1 Installing/Changing Batteries

To install batteries into the Scout turn the unit over to access
the battery compartment. Turn the knob on the battery cover
counter clockwise. Pull straight up on the knob to remove the
door. Insert the batteries as shown on the inside decal and
make sure they drop to full contact.
Fit the door into the case and turn the knob clockwise while
lightly pressing down to close. The battery cover can be
installed in either orientation.
When the Scout is turned on it takes a few seconds to check the
batteries. Until then the battery level will show as "empty".
Warning! – Do not allow debris to fall into battery compart-
ment. Debris in the battery compartment may short the battery
contacts, leading to rapid discharge of the batteries, which
could result in electrolyte leakage or risk of fire.

4.2 Operation Time

Typical operation time for the Scout locator, when using alkaline
cells, ranges from about 12 to 24 hours depending on factors
such as sound volume, and how often the backlight is on. Other
factors that affect the operation time will include chemistry of the
battery (many of the new high performance batteries, such as
the "Duracell ® ULTRA" do last 10%-20% longer than conven-
tional alkaline cells under high demand applications). Operation
at low temperatures will also reduce battery life.
To preserve battery life the Scout will automatically shut down
after 1 hour of no key presses. Simply turn the unit on to
resume use.

4.3 Powering Up and Down

Turn the power on by depressing the Power
keypad. The RIDGID ® logo displays, the software version num-
ber will appear in the lower right corner.
