Console Maintenance

Changing Batteries

Use this procedure to change console batteries without losing any stored weather data or console configuration settings.

1.Plug in the AC adapter or, if the AC adapter is not present, enter Setup Mode by pressing DONE and then the down arrow.

Entering Setup Mode makes sure the station isn’t writing any data to memory when power is removed.

2.Remove the battery cover located on the back of the console by press- ing down on the two latches at the top of the cover.

3.Place the console face down on a flat, firm surface.

4.Insert a fingertip between the two exposed batteries then press the mid- dle battery down toward the notch (toward the “hidden” battery). This will relieve tension on the first battery and allow you to remove it.

5.Remove the old batteries and install the new batteries.

6.Replace the battery cover and remove the AC power adapter, if it was used.

One Year Limited Warranty
