Install/Replace Backup Battery
The iH51 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous clock settings in the event of a power
failure. If the Battery Low Icon located on the right of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the backup
batteries.
Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during battery
replacement.
• Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the main receiver unit. Insert 2
“AA” batteries as indicated. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
Please make sure the AC cord is connected; otherwise all settings may be lost during
battery replacement.
