Battery
To install battery, first gain access to the battery by unscrewing
the cap retaining nut and removing cap from base. To remove
old battery, ease out the positive end of the battery from the
holder, using a screw driver blade. To fit battery, insert battery
negative into the spring contact end of the battery holder, then
press battery into place.
The units monitor their batteries. When the battery approaches
the end of its lifetime (over 2 years under normal conditions), the
display will toggle the message “LO BAT”.
