My batteries only lasted for two months. Is there something wrong?
Will
I
lose data in memory when I change the batteries?
There is probably nothing wrong with your unit. Battery life will vary from
user to user. A number of factors will affect battery life, including how much
the unit is used. The battery life is rated at 70 hours of continuous use.
Assuming an average of one hour per day of continuous use, you would get
about 2 months of battery life. Two months indicates heavier usage.
When you change the main operating batteries, the back-up battery will
protect data in memory. Be sure to follow the directions carefully when
changing the batteries.
An optional battery case is available, which will extend the life of your
operating batteries.
