We highly recommend to you to keep a hard copy of your significant data. By principle, any system with electronic memory can lose its data in certain circumstances.

NOTE: If the unit receives an electro static shock it may cease to function. Should this happen remove the batteries and reinsert them. The unit should then be able to function again.

The TouchMan TM280 series uses 2x AAA batteries. If the display becomes too dim to read properly, use the display contrast control to increase the contrast. If the display is still too dim, this is an indication that the battery life is low and they should be replaced as soon as possible.

To replace the batteries, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit, take out the old batteries and dispose of them carefully. Note the polarity of the battery compartment and replace the old batteries with NEW high quality batteries. Replace the battery compartment lid and turn the unit on.

DO NOT dispose of old batteries by throwing them into a fire. They may explode and cause serious injury. ALWAYS dispose of batteries carefully.

DO NOT leave the battery in the unit for extended periods of non-use as it may leak and cause irrevocable damage to your unit. This will invalidate your warranty.
