Installing / Replacing Battery

A battery is not installed at time of purchase. So first, put a battery into the battery holder as shown below. When the battery is low, the display may become dim, not display correctly, or the buttons may not work properly. If such problems are observed, replace the battery by following the steps given below. Settings such as time, date, and timer setting values are cleared when the battery is replaced, so they will need to be set again

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the main unit.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Install a new AAA battery, oriented correctly so that the polarities match those shown inside the holder.
4. Put the battery cover back on.

CAUTION

• The included battery is for testing and its life may be short.
• If the product is not going to be used for a long time, remove the battery and store in a safe place.
• The battery life described in the specifications is based on when a new alkaline battery is used at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and the buzzer is used 3 times a day (approximately 90 seconds). Depending on the ambient temperature and the frequency of buzzer use, the battery life may become extremely short.
• Make sure to use an AAA (cell) battery only.
• Be sure to insert the battery with the polarities (+/-) in the correct orientation. If the batteries are inserted with the polarities in the wrong orientation, not only will the product not work properly, but it may also cause the product to malfunction.
• Do not charge, short-circuit, disassemble, or expose the battery to fire as this may cause the battery to explode or leak.
