As the alkaline batteries run down, the display will begin to dim
(especially during calculations). To compensate for this, you will
need to adjust the contrast to a higher setting. If you find it necessary
to increase the contrast setting frequently, you will need to replace
the alkaline batteries. To assist you, a
BATT
indicator ( ) will
display in the status line area when the batteries have drained down
to the point when you should replace them soon. When the
BATT
indicator is displayed in reverse text ( ), you must replace the
alkaline batteries immediately.
To avoid loss of data, do not remove the lithium battery unless four
fresh alkaline batteries are installed. Replace the lithium backup
battery about every three or four years.
If you do not remove both types of batteries at the same time or
allow them to run down completely, you can change either type of
battery without losing anything in memory.
Take these precautions when replacing batteries:
¦ Do not leave batteries within the reach of children.
¦ Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix brands (or types
within brands) of batteries.
¦ Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
¦ Install batteries according to polarity (+ and - ) diagrams.
¦ Do not place non-rechargeable batteries in a battery recharger.
¦ Properly dispose of used batteries immediately.
¦ Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
