Normally when you replace the calculator’s battery, it stores its current memory contents in flash memory and restores them after battery replacement is complete. If you continue to use the calculator without replacing the battery after the above message appears, the calculator will eventually lose its ability to store data to flash memory. When this happens, the calculator will not be able to restore memory contents after battery replacement.

Your calculator runs on a single AAA-size alkaline battery (LR03).

Using the wrong type of battery can result in greatly reduced battery life and calculator malfunction.

A Replacing the Battery

The Low Battery message will appear when battery power goes low. When this happens, stop using the calculator, turn it off, and replace its battery. You should also regularly replace the battery at least once a year, even if the calculator is operating normally.
