the actual device you purchased may slightly
differ from their description in this manual.
Power supply
The EGP230D is powered by two CR2032
batteries and one CR1220 backup battery.
To restore full functionality of the device and to
avoid risk of losing user data, replace the complete
set of batteries as soon as possible. Do not mix old
and new batteries.
How to replace the batteries
à Ensure the power is off. Press ON/OFF to turn
the unit off.
à Never try to remove batteries from the unit
when the power is on. This can seriously
damage the device. If you experience difficulty
turning the unit off, press the RESET button on
the left-hand side of the device’s backside and
reset the system. See page 7 for additional
information.
à Remove the battery compartment cover by
sliding it away from the unit.
à Remove the used batteries and replace them
with new ones.
9 When replacing the batteries, you have 2
minutes to place new ones in the unit without
risk of losing any data stored in RAM. Do not
6

exceed the 2-minute limit! Neither the
manufacturer nor the dealer may be held
responsible for loss of user data.
à Make sure to align the batteries according to
the polarity marks (+ -) inside the
compartment.
à Replace the battery compartment cover by
sliding it toward the unit. Make sure the cover
sits in place properly.
9 If the display blinks or becomes dim, you
should replace the batteries.
Initialization
The initialization routine is started
– when the EGP230D is turned on for the
first time;
– when you remove the batteries (e.g. during
replacement);
– after the system has been reset with the
RESET button.
9 The RESET button is located on the left-hand
side of the reverse of the device. It can be
accessed with any thin object like a paper clip.
Never use a needle or pin for this purpose
since it can damage the unit.
à If you see Init system?(y/n), press the N button
to abort initialization and customization.
