memory backup batteries should be  
replaced with new ones approximately  
every 12 months to securely maintain the  
contents of the memory.  
• Before replacing the memory backup  
batteries, always connect the AC power  
cord to the system to prevent the contents  
of memory from being erased.  
• When you operate the system on mains  
(AC) power or on car battery (DC12V), the  
power source automatically switches from  
batteries to AC or DC12V. However, you  
should remove the 10 batteries when  
operating on AC power or car battery  
(DC12V).

backup batteries.  
CAUTION:  
To avoid battery leakage or explosion:  
• Remove the 10 batteries when the system is  
not in use for an extended period of time.  
• When you need to replace the batteries,  
replace all batteries at the same time with  
new ones.  
• Do not use different types of batteries  
together.  
• If the power is supplied through the  
batteries, the display will be blank with the  
system turned off (at standby).  
CAUTION:  
To avoid battery leakage or explosion:  
• When you need to replace the batteries,
