Battery Test: A convenient battery test switch has been
incorporated into your 1236-X2 to check the relative strength of
the batteries. Rotating the SENSITIVITY control counterclockwise
to the “BATTERY” position causes the 1236-X2 to give off an
audio tone with the intensity indicating the strength of the
battery. A low or absent audio tone indicates a weak or dead
battery.
