Power Supply
ECTACO Partner® ER300T is powered by three AAA (LR03) batteries.
When the batteries become low, a warning message will appear.
In order to prevent an excessive discharge of the batteries and resulting loss of
data in RAM, the Say function will be disabled if battery power is low.

9 When replacing the batteries, you have 2 minutes to place new ones into the
