CHANGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the unit was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is supplying power to the inside computer memory. Once you plug the unit in, your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the inside computer for at least 2 years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your unit was connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5 years .
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LOW BATT indicator will come ‘On’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The battery type is CR2032 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the fresh battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Keep the radio connected to the AC outlet during battery replacement. This will provide power while the original battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio upside down and open the outer battery door by pressing on the tab. Remove the outer door.
