C1 and C2

Note:

When inserting the battery, pay attention to the correct polarity: The

positive pole (+) must point downwards! A wrong polarity will not be noticed

at first, but during the next power failure that lasts more than 15 minutes the

device data will be lost.

•

Re-assemble the device and connect the supply voltage.
