2.4 Replacing Batteries
Every four years, the back-up batteries (2 pcs.) in the DCU must be replaced with new ones
(Type: OP24-12 Code no.: 004-385-010) by a qualified service engineer. Note that the batteries
should be recycled. Contact a FURUNO dealer for further details.
Observe the following precautions with the batteries:
