BATTERY INSTALLATION

Inserting/Replacing Batteries

This diary is powered by two 3V button-cell batteries, both of which are type CR2032. One of the main battery, and the other is the back-up battery. The main battery provides power for normal operations. The backup battery protects data stored in memory when changing the main battery.

If the LCD becomes dim, replace the main battery. Your data is protected by the back-up battery during main battery replacement.

Memory contents are lost when both the main battery and the back-up battery are removed at the same time. Be sure to leave one of the batteries in place to protect the data in memory. If you remove the main battery for any amount of time, memory retention will depend entirely on the condition of the back-up battery and memory contents are likely to be damaged. If memory seems corrupted, clear it using the reset operation.

Replacing Main Battery

1. With the diary turned off, using a

Phillips® screwdriver, remove the

screw on the battery compartment

door on the back of the unit.

Remove the battery compartment

door.

2. Remove the old battery using a thin,

pointed, non-metallic object.

3. Wipe the surfaces of the new

battery with a soft, dry cloth. Insert

the new battery. The “+” should be

facing you.

4. Screw the battery compartment

door back on.

WARNING: YOUR MUST REPLACE THE MAIN BATTERY BEFORE CLOSING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT DOOR OR ALL FILES WILL BE LOST.

Replacing Back-up Battery

1. You replace this battery in the same

way you replace the main battery.

2. Be sure that the main battery is in

place before removing the back-up

battery, or all data will be lost.
