Appendix B Power Supply
This unit is powered by two AAA-size (LR03 (AM4) or R03 (UM-4)) batteries. In addi-
tion, it uses a single CR2032 lithium battery as a back up power supply for the memory.
If the following message appears on the display, immediately stop using the calcula-
tor and replace batteries.
If you try to continue using the calculator, it will automatically switch power off, in
order to protect memory contents. You will not be able to switch power back on until
you replace batteries.
Be sure to replace the main batteries at least once every two years, no matter how
much you use the calculator during that time.
Warning!
If you remove both the main power supply and the memory back up batteries at the
same time, all memory contents will be erased. If you do remove both batteries,
correctly reload them and then perform the reset operation.
The batteries that come with this unit discharge slightly during shipment and
storage. Because of this, they may require replacement sooner than the normal
expected battery life.
