Initial start-up
Fitting batteries and advice
The ARVA LINK only operates with 4 standard AAA/LR03 alkaline batteries.
Open the battery compartment cover with a screwdriver or coin, or using the screws. The 4 batteries
must always be of the same brand and replaced at the same time. Insert the batteries carefully, as
per the directions shown in the compartment.
Avoid touching the contactors. Store the unit above 0°C to prevent battery deterioration.
NEVER USE rechargeable or lithium batteries. These do not resist cold and/or discharge in one
go (unlike alkaline batteries, which discharge gradually).
Remove the batteries if the device is left unused for a long time (especially in summer). If batteries
leak, the warranty does not apply.
