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 E-Z Set 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 E-Z Set computer for at least 3 years
even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio 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 or even longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the BATT. LOW indicator will
‘flash’. 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.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet.
This will provide power to the E-Z Set computer memory while the original
lithium battery is removed.
3.) Use a small screwdriver to remove the two small screws securing the battery
holder on the back cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THESE SMALL SCREWS!
4.) Remove the battery holder from the cabinet. Then remove the original battery
from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the same way.
5.) Slide the holder with the
new battery back into the
opening in the cabinet.
6.) Replace the two screws
that secure the battery
holder in the cabinet, and
confirm that the BATT.
LOW indicator is ‘Off’.
7.) Save these instructions.
You’ll have to do this again
five to eight years from
now!
