4.8 Procedure of battery exchange

1) The power supply of FX

2N

-20GM is turned off. 

2) Remove side cover from the FX

2N

-20GM.

3) Remove battery from holder-disconnect and replace. (This must be carried out within 30 sec if the cur-

rent data held in the FX

2N

-20GM’s RAM is to be saved.)

4) Refit battery and cover.
