R T C - 1 0 0 0 D 1

Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.

Changing the Battery

Change the main battery pack as follows:

1. Turn off the RTC.

2. To replace the Battery remove the screw and the Battery Bay

Cover shown right

3. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Then insert the battery into the battery compartment. Check that the latch locks back into position.

4.3 Heat Considerations

The RTC processor has been specially designed to consume little power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature.

If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.
