display will show LoBAT. To remove the batteries, open the control cover and with
the tip of a flat screwdriver, carefully pry the battery holder up. Replace the old
batteries with fresh batteries, placing them in the battery holder as shown in the
battery holder. See Fig 12. FIG 12 LINE ART BATTERY HOLDER). Firmly place the
battery holder into the switch.
