Battery Indicator Tones
An indicator will sound when the battery’s voltage is
low. You have approximately 5 minutes* to replace
the battery. An indicator will sound just before the
battery stops working.
* Actual time between low battery indicator and shut
down will vary depending on environmental noise
levels and brand of battery used.

the colored mark is visible.
To unlock the battery door:
