LOW BATTERY WARNING

The message "Main Battery Getting Weak! Replace it!" appears when battery
power is low.  Replace the main batteries immediately.

IMPORTANT!  The OFF key is the only function that works when the low 
            battery message is on the display.  If you do not turn off
            power, the unit automatically turns off in about 30 seconds.

ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY

This unit actually has two power supplies.

Main Batteries:  Two AAA alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555)
                 for normal operations.

Back-up Battery:  One CR2032 lithium battery (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-162)
                  to store data in memory.  Memory contents are lost when
                  main batteries and the back-up battery are removed at the
                  same time.  Be sure to leave either the main batteries or
                  the back-up battery in the unit to avoid loss of data.
                  If you remove the main batteries for a long time, memory
                  contents may be damaged or deleted if the back-up battery
                  becomes weak.  Whenever contents appear to be damaged,
                  use the ALL-RESET operation on Faxback Doc. # 31608
                  to clear them.

IMPORTANT!  Be sure that the positive (+) and negative) (-) battery poles
            are facing correctly.

            Never mix main batteries of different types.

            Never leave dead batteries in the unit.

            Remove the AAA batteries if you do not expect to use the unit
            for a long time.

            Replace the main batteries at least once every two years and
            the back-up battery every five years, no matter how much you
            use the unit.

WARNING:  Never try to recharge the batteries supplied with the unit.

          Do not expose batteries to direct heat, do not short circuit
          them, and do not try to take them apart.

          Keep batteries out of the reach of small children.  If swallowed,
          consult a physician immediately.

The batteries that come installed in this unit are for factory test
purposes, so they will probably not provide normal service life.
