BACKUP BATTERY
The iWBT5 ships with a CR2450 battery installed for backup to provide continuous
alarm operation and clock settings in the event of a power failure. Remove the
pull tab from the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit before use. If

the backup battery is low and needs to be replaced, the Battery Low icon
will flash. To replace, follow steps below:
1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise all settings may
be lost during battery replacement.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the backup battery compartment door
located on the bottom of the unit.
3. Remove the exhausted battery. Insert
a new CR2450 battery by easing it
under the tabs in the battery well and
pressing down. Make sure the side
marked + is facing up.
