•  The clock is maintained by the internal battery.
•  If you already set the time but the date/time setting screen 
appears when the power is turned on, the internal battery 
may be exhausted. Please contact your local SHARP 
servicing dealer or service center for assistance with 
internal battery replacement.
•  Estimated service life of the internal battery: About 5 years 
(depending on monitor operation)
•  The initial battery was inserted at the factory when the 
monitor was shipped, so it may run out of power before its 
expected operation life.
