The battery should be replaced approximately every 2 years. This is

accomplished as follows:

Unscrew the two screws that hold the battery access cover in place. It

is located on the upper portion of the dividing network, on the rear of

the speaker enclosure (Figure 1).

Write today’s date, including the year, in this manual.

Install the battery by aligning the battery terminals with the mating

terminals in the network housing. Align male to female, female to

male terminals, then snap the connectors together, assuring a tight

connection.

Replace the battery access cover and install screws.
