CHANGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A
number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was
manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount
of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is
supplying power to the SmartSet
® computer memory. Once you plug the radio in,
your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A
fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet
® computer for at least 3
years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was
connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and
you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions,
your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the “BATT. LOW” indicator
will come on. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon
as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The
battery type is CR2430 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet.
This will provide power to the SmartSet
® computer memory while the
original lithium battery is removed.
3.) Remove the battery door by pressing down on the arrow mark and slide the
door in the direction of the arrows.
4.) Use a small screwdriver to remove the two small screws securing the battery
cap.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THESE
SMALL SCREWS!
5.) Remove the battery cap. Then remove
the original battery from the holder and
insert the new battery into the holder the
same way.
6.) Replace the battery cap. Turn the two
screws clockwise that secure the battery
cap, and confirm that the ‘BATT. LOW’
indicator is ‘Off’.
7.) Replace the battery door.
8.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do
this again five to eight years from now!
