EC-442  (650-0847)             Battery                 Faxback Doc. # 15812

Replace the batteries whenever the display dims or no display appears when
you press ON.  The EC-442 is powered by three CR2032 lithium batteries
(Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-162).

NOTE:  At very low temperatures, the display response time might slow down
       or fail completely.  This is temporary, and correct operation
       returns at normal temperatures.

WARNINGS:  Memory contents are cleared when you remove more than one
           battery at the same time.  Remove only one battery at a time to
           protect memory contents.

           Replace the batteries only with CR2032 lithium batteries.
           Using the wrong battery type might present a risk of fire or
           explosion.

           Always install the batteries so the positive (+) side faces up.

           Never mix old and new batteries.

           Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment.

           Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the EC-442 for a
           long period.

           Replace the batteries at least once every two years, regardless
           of the amount of use.

           The batteries might explode if misused.  Do not try to recharge
           or disassemble the batteries, and never expose them to heat or
           flame.

           Keep batteries out of the reach of small children.  Swallowed
           batteries can be harmful or even fatal.  Consult a physician
           immediately for emergency treatment.

1.  Loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover and remove the cover.

2.  Loosen the screw on one of the three battery holders and remove the
    battery holder.

    CAUTION:  Be sure to remove only one battery at a time.  Otherwise, you
              lose all data stored in memory.

3.  Remove the old battery.

4.  Wipe off the surfaces of a new battery with a dry, soft cloth and
    insert it into the compartment with the positive (+) side facing up.

5.  Replace the battery holder and tighten the screw.  Do not overtighten
    the screw.

6.  Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other two batteries.

7.  Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the screw.  Do not
    overtighten the screw.

After replacing the batteries, check if the home time setting is correct.
If not, reset the clock as described in "Setting/Viewing the Time
Displays."
