Battery Replacement - The Axis Rack Mounted Video

Server Solution uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as the
power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). This battery
will, under normal conditions, last for a minimum of 5 years.
Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it
to reset at every power-up. A log message will appear when
battery replacement is required.. The battery should not be
replaced unless required! If the battery needs replacing, please
observe the following points:

• Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced

• Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as

recommended by the manufacturer

• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions
