Replace the red dot Viewfinder’s battery with a CR2032 lithium battery. The battery is locat- ed on the bottom of the red dot viewfinder. You may need to slide your fingernail or a screw- driver blade underneath the battery and then slide it out.
Replace the internal clock’s battery with a CR2023 lithium battery. This battery is located in the battery compartment.
Both batteries are available from Meade, photographic supply houses or any place lithium batteries are sold.
