whether Indicator A (red) or B (yellow) is lit.

* The IN/OUT jack doubles as the power switch. Unplug the cable from
the jack after use to extend battery life.
Changing the Batteries
When an indicator (A or B) loses its brightness, it means that the
batteries are nearly dead. Remove the (two) screws from the
underside and open the cover. Then, replace the batteries (size
AAA) with two fresh batteries. Do not mix fresh batteries with
used ones.
