Battery Replacement
For optimal performance, batteries should be replaced on an annual basis.
If the Apgar timer is to be removed from service or stored, the batteries must be
removed.
The LCD flashing between the messages “Lo” and “Batt” indicates a low
battery condition, when this message appears, the batteries should be
replaced at the earliest opportunity.
To replace the batteries, remove the mounting bracket from the rear of the
timer using a 3/16
th
inch Allen Key, then using a narrow blade screwdriver
release the battery cover. Remove the existing batteries and insert new ones (4 x AA/
LR6/MN1500 1.5V Alkaline), observing the correct polarity.
Depleted batteries should be disposed of as per local regulations.

It is recommended that the Apgar timer be checked at least annually to
ensure correct performance.
