Install the Batteries
If your unit has a pull tab, simply pull the tab. You may discard the tab once
it has been pulled out. If there is no pull tab, or to replace batteries, the pro-
cedure is as follows: Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the battery-
compartment panel screws on the back of Electronic Chess. Then remove
the panel by pulling gently from the top. Install three fresh AG13 batteries,
making sure to follow the diagram near the battery slot so that the
polarity
(+ or -) of the batteries is correct.
The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magi-
cal secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court wizard,
sometimes our patented technology may make it
seem as if we could.
The New York Times Electronic Chess is
another unmatched innovation of
Excalibur Electronics. We make you think.
