We highly recommend to you to keep a hard copy of your significant data. By principle,
any system with electronic memory can lose its data in certain circumstances.

The TouchMan TM280 series uses 2x AAA batteries. If the display becomes too dim to
read properly, use the display contrast control to increase the contrast. If the display is
still too dim, this is an indication that the battery life is low and they should be replaced
as soon as possible.
To replace the batteries, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit,
take out the old batteries and dispose of them carefully. Note the polarity of the battery
compartment and replace the old batteries with NEW high quality batteries. Replace the
battery compartment lid and turn the unit on.
DO NOT dispose of old batteries by throwing them into a fire. They may explode and
cause serious injury. ALWAYS dispose of batteries carefully.
