3.5 Memory and batteries

As you have noticed, the RC-898 requires no power supply of its own, drawing its power from the DTRS units to which it is connected.

Location memories and configuration settings are stored using a battery backup system. The battery should provide power for several years of use.

When the battery eventually degrades to the point where it cannot provide enough power to retain settings, the message Memory Error will be shown on the diaply screen (this can be removed by pressing the ESCAPE key).

When this message appears, all memories (loca- tion memories and configuration settings) are cleared and reset to the default settings.

If you see this message, contact your TASCAM dealer for details of battery replacement. Do not attempt to replace the battery by yourself.
