replaced.
The procedure outlined below describes how to remove and install the battery and then

procedure. If there are any questions, please contact Capintec’s only Authorized Service
Center at 1-800-227-6832.
The following question must be answered before proceeding with replacing the battery:
Since the Low Battery symbol appeared on the display, has the time reset to 00:00?
