INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
To install the batteries, loosen and remove the Butterfly
Nuts at the top of the Assembly Frame which will enable
you to pivot the entire clock mechanism forward on the
bottom screws; thereby, allowing you to gain access to
the battery holder mounted on the inside back of the case.
The top battery should have the positive terminal on the
left, as indicated on the battery holder. The positive terminals
on the other three (3) batteries should alternate as shown
on the battery holder.
If two of the batteries are improperly installed, a red light
on the circuit board, which is mounted in the upper right
hand corner of the back case, will glow RED. (See Figure
2.) If all is well, the recorder should advance one (1) minute
within sixty (60) seconds after the batteries have been
properly installed.
WEAK BATTER WARNING
When the batteries have discharged voltage down to a
certain point, a beeper on the circuit board will be activated.
When you hear the beeping, we recommend replacing the
batteries within five (5) days or the recorder may begin to
lose time or stop altogether. (See Figure 2.)

The Rechargeable Recorder BP 125-R6
These recorders include four (4) standard rechargeable
batteries.
IMPORTANT: Before setting your recorder to the correct
time, plug the machine in for at least 15 minutes to allow
batteries to charge up to operating voltage or the recorder
will run slow.
The BP-12 Acroprint BOSS Recorder
The BP125-12 BOSS Recorder is designed to operate
on a 12 Volt Automobile Battery.
We recommend you connect the recorder directly to the
Battery to insure that constant power is supplied.
We supplied two (2) ring terminals to make the connection
to your battery and two (2) y terminals to make the
connection on the terminal block. You will need to purchase
two (2) wires in whatever length required. We suggest a
No. 20 gauge stranded wire that can be purchased from
any hardware store or electrical parts shop.
Once you have the wire, connect a ring terminal to one
end of each wire and a y terminal to the other ends. (Locate
the six (6) position terminal block mounted to the time
recorders back case and connect one of the y terminals
to terminal No. 1 and the other to terminal No. 2, be sure
to identify the wire on Terminal No. 2 by wrapping
electricians tape around the ring terminal because this
will be connected to the positive (+) terminal on your
battery.) Fish the wire through the firewall of the vehicle
either through an existing opening used by air conditioning
or heating hoses or hood release cable. If necessary, you
may drill a hole in the firewall at a place where there are no
obstructions under the hood. Run the wire to the battery
and remove the battery bolt screw and install it back into
the bolt (see Figure 2.) Follow the same procedure for the
negative terminal.
If you wish, you may have the unit professionally installed
at a nominal fee by any garage specializing in automobile
electrical services.
