in the display when the unit is powered on. When you see this flashing indicator you should
replace the backup batteries as soon as possible.
To install/replace the backup battery:
IMPORTANT: When replacing the backup battery be sure to have the
unit connected to the AC outlet to maintain all of your settings,
otherwise it will be necessary to reset the time and alarm time after
the batteries are replaced.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew and remove the battery
door located on the bottom of the unit. If replacing battery,
remove the exhausted battery.
2. Insert 1 fresh CR2450 battery in the backup battery compartment.
Make sure the ”+” node of the battery is facing you.
