Replacing the Battery

NOTES: Battery life is normally two and a half years. However,
the factory installed battery discharges during shipment and
storage and may need replacing less than two and a half years
after you purchase the keypad.

If the battery is completely discharged, the keypad will work
from your computer’s power supply when connected to an
available USB port on your computer.

If the display becomes dim or difficult to read or if the display
remains blank after you press the CE/AC key, you may need to
replace the battery.

10

To replace the battery:

1 Use a round object, such as coin, to open the battery cover on

the back of the unit.

Things to Remember

• Avoid using or storing the keypad in extreme temperatures. The
environmental specifications while operating are 32° to 104°
Fahrenheit (0° to 40° Celsius)

• If you use the keypad in a low temperature environment, the
display response may slow down or fail temporarily. For best
results, allow the keypad to reach room temperature before
using it.

• Avoid using or storing the keypad in dusty or humid
surroundings.

11

• Never use pointed objects, such as a pen or pencil tip, to press
the keys on the keypad.

• To clean the keypad, use a soft cloth dampened with a dilute
solution of a mild detergent and water.

• Never expose the keypad to a direct flame, sunlight or other heat
source.

• Any attempt to disassemble, adjust or repair the keypad may
cause damage to the device and possibly void the warranty.
