Battery life varies widely depending on the way you use your monitor. Some of the use factors that affect
battery life include:
• the alert type you choose
• the number of alerts you receive
• how much you use the backlight
• how long you display the graphs
To install the battery:
1 If your new battery has been stored in a refrigerator or other cold environment, you must let it warm
up to room temperature before installing it in your monitor.
2 Before you remove the old battery, make sure that you set the monitor on the HOME (idle) screen and
clear any alarms (ESC, ACT).
3 Use the edge of a coin to remove the battery cap.
Turn the cap counter-clockwise.

4 Remove the old battery and throw it away according to the laws of your state or country. Insert the
new battery into the monitor negative end [(-) symbol] first. Check the label on the back of the
monitor to make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.

Place the battery cap in the monitor and tighten until the slot is aligned
with the monitor as shown at right.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the battery cap. You should not turn
the cap more than four half-turns. If you over-tighten the cap you
may not be able to remove it, and you can damage your monitor.
When the monitor turns on, several screens appear, the monitor shows the
version number, then the HOME screen appears. If you are replacing a battery for a monitor that has
very recently been in use, the only screen you will see before the HOME screen is the one showing the
version number.
