Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always insert the batteries according to the polarity markings (+ and -) shown inside your device's battery compartment. When installing, replace all batteries in a device simultaneously, as mixing old and new batteries can lead to leakage or reduced performance. For long-term care, if you know a device will remain unused for several months—such as a holiday-themed remote or an occasional-use radio—remove the batteries to prevent internal corrosion caused by battery leakage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the zinc-carbon chemistry.
