Changing the Battery
If the display indicates “bt,” the battery has run low. Replace the
battery as described below.
* The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power
consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batteries, please use the alkaline type.
* Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used.
* The contents of internal memory will not be lost when you
replace the battery, but we recommend that you make regular
backups (p. 14) for safety’s sake.
