Hardware Installation

The lithium ion battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS
memory. It is an auxiliary source of power when the main power is
shut off.

Safety Measures

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend     by

the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufactur-

er’s     instructions.
