6  You should see internal battery. Using small flat screwdriver gently push metal retainer 

clip outward until it releases battery.  

 

7  Replace with fresh battery. Insert it from plastic end opposite to metal clip first, and then 

press down until retainer clip clicks holding it in place. 

 

Upgrading Firmware 

 

 
Removing maintenance door will also allow you access to the FTDI programming interface. You 
will need a 5V USB FTDI adapter board or cable (you can get one on Sparkfun or eBay). Make 
sure you unplug external power first. FTDI will provide power to the clock from your computer 
via USB.  Please take care of plugging FTDI adapter correctly. Usually it means facing up (as 
show on the picture). Just look and match writing next to the pins (i.e. DTR on the far left, 
Ground on the far right). 
 
There are basically two way to upgrade firmware, a simplified and advanced.
