Battery replacement

Batteries are required to provide power. Install fresh batteries immediately when
the low battery icon appears. The icon appears about two months before the
batteries are depleted.
Even if the low battery icon does not appear, you should replace
batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a
month.
If batteries are inserted within two minutes, the time and day will not have to be
reset. All other settings are permanently stored in memory, and do not require
battery power.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, alkaline batteries are recommended.
