14.4Battery levels
The lithium batteries in the TM-D1000 provide
backup for your settings and should last for a number
of years before they need to be replaced.
However, as with all batteries, there is a possibility
that they may start to leak after about three years,
even if the voltage is within permissible limits. We
therefore suggest changing the battery every three
years or thereabouts.
NOTE
If the battery drops below the critical level, the
display will show:
