Precautions

Since improper use of the batteries may cause leakage or explosion, strictly observe the following instructions:

•If fluid from a leaking battery accidentally gets into your eyes, it may result in serious injury. Should this occur, flush your eyes with clean water and consult a physician immediately.

•Should fluid from a leaking battery come into contact with your skin or clothes, immediately wash with clean water.

•If the Organizer will not be used for an extended period of time, to avoid damaging the Organizer remove batteries and store in a safe place.

•Do not leave exhausted batteries inside the Organizer.

•Do not use different types of batteries or partially used batteries.

•Insert the battery with its positive side (+) correctly orientated.

•Never throw batteries into a fire because they might explode.

•Keep batteries out of reach of children.

•When batteries become near exhaustion, remove them from the

Organizer immediately to avoid battery leakage and corrosion inside the Organizer.

Because the batteries in the Organizer were installed at the factory, they may become exhausted before the specified expiration time is reached.

When the B Symbol Appears

When “B” is displayed, immediately replace the operation battery with a new one. Follow the steps on page 32.

The operation battery holder is indicated as "For OPERATION" in the battery compartment.

If the battery level is low, the alarm may not sound, or similarly the Backlight may not function or remain on for less than the set interval. Continued use of the Organizer with low battery can alter or clear the memory contents. Memory contents may be lost if the battery is improperly replaced or if the following instructions are disregarded.

Note:

•After the battery replacement, check also that the Backlight functions properly.

Caution:

•PC Link may not be available when the battery level is low.

•Expense Report (Summary Report) may not be available when the battery level is low.

•Under the low battery condition, new data entry and editing of existing data may not be performed in some modes. Also Clock and other settings may not be made.

When the Backlight Won’t Function

When the Backlight cannot be turned on (except when “B” is displayed or the Organizer is in the PC Link mode), replace the battery for the backlight ("For BACKLIGHT & OPERATION"). Follow the steps on page 32.
