Replacing Batteries:

This DINO DEX is powered by two button-cell batteries type LR44 and four AAA batteries. The four AAA batteries are the main batteries and the two LR44 batteries are the back-up batteries. The main batteries provide power for normal operations. The back-up batteries protect data stored in memory when changing the main batteries.

CAUTION : Batteries should be replaced by an adult.

Not suitable for children under 36 months, may contain small parts.

If the LCD display becomes dim, this means you should turn off the DINO DEX and replace the main batteries. Your DINO DEX is protected by the back-up batteries during main battery replacement.

Memory contents are lost when the back-up batteries are removed or need to be replaced. Be sure to always leave the back-up batteries in place to protect memory contents when you are changing the main batteries. However, when you remove the main batteries at any time, memory retention will depend entirely on the condition of the back-up batteries in place. If back-up batteries are not in place, memory contents are likely to be damaged. If memory seems corrupted, clear it using the reset.

Normally the back-up batteries can support over 180 days of operation, even when no main batteries have been installed. However, in order to guarantee your data is stored, never leave the unit without main batteries for a whole day.

Otherwise, you could lose your data. For regular maintenance, please exchange the back-up batteries once a year.

Important:

Incorrect use of batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of the DINO DEX. Note the following precautions:

Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.

To avoid damage to the unit from leaky batteries, replace both the main battery and the back-up battery every three years. Batteries should be replaced no matter how much you use the diary during that time.

Warning:

Never try to recharge the batteries supplied with DINO DEX.

Do not expose batteries to direct heat.

Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

To Replace The Main Battery:

1. Switch power off, loose the screws that holds the battery compartment cover in place, then remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert a thin, pointed, non-metallic object into small hole and remove the old battery.

Warning:

DO NOT CLOSE THE BATTERY DOOR ONCE YOU REMOVE THE MAIN BATTERY. YOU

MUST REPLACE MAIN BATTERY BEFORE CLOSING BATTERY COMPARTMENT OR

ALL FILES WILL BE DELETED!

3. Wipe the surfaces of a new battery with a soft, dry cloth. Insert the new battery into the DINO DEX, making sure to align "+" and "-" as shown.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover and the screws that secure it in place.

To Replace the Back-Up Battery:

1. Be sure always to leave main battery in place to protect memory contents before you replace back-up battery.

2. Loose the screw that holds the back-up battery cover in place.

Remove the cover, then remove the old battery with a thin pointed, non-metallic object.

3. Wipe the surfaces of a new battery with a soft, dry cloth. Insert the new battery into the DINO DEX, making sure that its positive (+) side is facing up (so that you can see it).
