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
radio 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 SmartSet@ computer
memory. Once
you
plug
the
radio in,
your
household outlet supplies the
power,
and
the battery is not being used. A
fresh lithium battery can supply
power
to
the SmartSet@ computer
for
at
least
3
years
even if it is never connected to an
AC
power
supply.
lf
your
radio was
connected
to
your
AC supply within a
few months
after
it was manufactured, and
you
experience onlythe
normal, nuisance type, short duration
power
interruptions,
your
battery
may last for up to 5
years
or even
longer.
When the battery
power
drops below a certain
level, the
"BATT,
LOW" 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
CR2430
or
equivalent.
2.) Remove
the battery
from its
package
so
it is ready to
install.
3,)
lmportant: Leave
the
radio
power
cord connected
to
yourAC
outlet.
This will
provide power
to the SmartSet@
computer
memory while
the original
lithium
battery
is
removed.
4.) Place the radio face down and use a small screw
driver
to
remove
the
screw
securing the battery
holder to the cabinet.
BE
CAREFUL
NOT TO LOSE
THIS
SMALL
SCREW !
5.) Slide the battery
holder out of the cabinet.
Then remove
the original battery
from
the
holder
and
insert the
new battery into the holder the
same
way, with

up.

holder with the new
battery back
into
the opening
in
the cabinet.

the
screw that secures

in
the cabinet.
