11.3.2 Replacement Procedure of the CPU Module Battery
Replace the battery by the following procedure when the Q6BAT battery of the CPU
module comes to the end of its life. The battery replacement can be performed regardless
of the SAFETY MODE or TEST MODE.
The programmable controller power must be on for 10 minutes or longer before
dismounting the battery.
Data in the memory are backed up for a while by a capacitor even after the battery is
removed. However, since data in the memory may be erased if the time for replacement
exceeds the backup time shown in Table11.4, replace the battery quickly.

The CPU module backs up the operation/error history data with a
battery. In the SAFETY MODE, sequence programs and parameters
are saved in the standard ROM. When replacing the battery, save
the operation/error history data as a backup file with GX Developer.
