To power the PR 81 portable receiver you can use the supplied 1.5 V AA size dry
batteries, 1.5 V AA size rechargeable batteries (not supplied), or the optional
PA 81 supply adapter for direct powering from a camcorder.

battery compartment cover (1l) and push the battery compartment cover (1l)
in the direction of the arrow away from the receiver.
3. Insert the supplied batteries into the battery compartment (1I) making sure to
align them with the polarity marks inside the battery compartment (1I).
If you insert the batteries incorrectly, the receiver will not be powered.
You may use 1.5 V AA size rechargeable batteries instead of the supplied dry
batteries.
