Install/Replace Backup Battery

The iH52 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous clock settings in the event of a power 
failure. If the Battery Low Icon located on the right of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the backup 
batteries. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during battery 
replacement.
•    Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the main receiver unit. Insert 3  
 

“AA” batteries as indicated.

 We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life

•  

Please make sure the AC cord is connected; otherwise all settings may be lost during 

      battery replacement.

Batteries information:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon -zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
