7.1 Lithium Battery Replacement
A removable lithium battery is located near the back and to the right of the motherboard. The battery life is rated
up to three years, but should be replaced if the panel does not maintain date and time during power interruption. It
is also recommended to replace when the lithium battery voltage is less than 2.6Vdc.
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution and do not touch any connected equipment.
To replace the lithium battery, shut down the CXC, remove the rear cover, and pull battery out carefully. Ensure
that the new battery is the same as the one being replaced.
NOTE: Replace the battery within 30 seconds to prevent loss of date and time.
