Installation and Operation
This document describes how to correctly install a
ROVR SIDEKICK™
device. The
ROVR
SIDEKICK

used with the
ROVR™

Battery Installation
1
The Sidekick requires 2 AAA batteries for
operation. Non-rechargeable lithium batteries
are recommended for maximum life. Some
high capacity alkaline batteries will also be
sufficient but have shorter lifetimes.
The Sidekick has a battery compartment.
Batteries are inserted in-line to the
compartment through a small door on the
side of the unit.
Open the door by removing the attached
thumbscrew.
2
Insert both batteries negative (-) terminal first.
The top of the batteries will protrude from
the opening.

Manipulate the battery tab opposite the
thumbscrew into the opening and screw the
door back in. This requires a small amount of
force to overcome the internal battery spring.
4
When the door is fully in place, the display
should light with a message that reads ROVR
SIDEKICK, along with a version number.
