Safety Notice - Battery Replacement

The AXIS 210/210A/211/211A uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of 5 years. Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. A log message will appear when the battery needs replacing. The battery should not be replaced unless required!

If the battery does need replacing, please observe the following:

•Danger of Explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced

•Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as recommended by the manufacturer.

•Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
