3. Lithium battery
3-1. Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the Side Case R S Ass’y.
2. There is a Lithium battery on the RSIDE P.C.Board.
3. Unsolder the each soldering point of electric lead terminal for Lithium battery “Ref No: B1400 at foil side of
RSIDE P.C.BOARD) and remove the Lithium battery together with electric lead terminal.
4. Install the new battery.
5. Set the date and time of internal clock (Refer to item “Setting the Calendar” of operation instructions for the
setting method).
NOTE: A setup date and time of internal clock can be set also on PC EVR software (refer to item “5-4-1.
Setting and confirmation of Date and Time of internal clock(SYSCON(S) section)” and item
“6-3-3. Setup of Date and Time of internal clock”).
< NOTE >
Do not pick up the lithium battery and electric lead terminal
with tweezers.
When you use tweezers, use the things of non-conductivity.
Do not put soldering iron to simultaneous (+) and (-) terminal.
Do not touch the (+) and
(-) electric lead terminal.
It fixes with adhesives.

SIDE CASE R S Ass’y LITHIUM BATTERY

INF-5
NOTE:
The lithium battery is a critical component.
It must never be subjected to excessive heat of discharge.
It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.
Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.
They must be fitted in the same manner and location as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts
observed.
Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it for any other purpose.
It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.
CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
