CHANGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A
number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the unit was
manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount
of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is
supplying power to the inside computer memory. Once you plug the unit in, your
household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A fresh
lithium battery can supply power to the inside computer for at least 2 years even if
it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your unit was connected to your AC
supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the
normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for
up to 5 years .
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LOW BATT indicator will
come ‘On’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The
battery type is CR2032 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the fresh battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Keep the radio connected to the AC outlet during battery
replacement. This will provide power while the original battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio upside down and open the outer battery door by pressing on the
tab. Remove the outer door.
