■ About the On-Card Battery
The Organizer has its own built-in, 3-volt,
CR1220 lithium battery. This means that you
can remove an Organizer from the Digital Book
System without fear of losing any information
that you entered in it.
This on-card battery uses little power, so you
rarely, if ever, need to change it. When the
battery runs low, a warning appears on screen.
WARNING:
Unless you see the low battery
warning, do not change the on-card battery or
remove the battery cover on the back of the
Organizer card. If you must change the on-card
battery, do so only with the Organizer installed
in the Digital Book System. If you change the
on-card battery when the Organizer is not
installed, you will permanently erase all the
information that you entered in the Organizer.
To change the on-card battery, first unscrew the
battery cover on the back of the Organizer.
Then install a new battery, plus sign facing up,
and replace the cover.
