Appendix C: Battery, Warranty and Service Information
Do not attempt to recharge the batteries; do not store batteries near a

cause the batteries to leak or explode.

all batteries are available in all countries):
Alkaline

RAY-O-VAC RW82

Low-Power Indication

An asterisk (*) flashing in the lower left corner of the display when the
calculator is on signifies that the available battery power is running low.
With alkaline batteries installed:
•
The calculator can be used for at least 2 hours of continuous program
running after the asterisk first appears.
•
If the calculator remains turned off, the contents of its Continuous
Memory will be preserved for at least 1 month after the asterisk first
appears.
With silver-oxide batteries installed:
•
The calculator can be used for at least 15 minutes of continuous program
running after the asterisk first appears.
•
If the calculator remains turned off, the contents of its Continuous
Memory will be preserved for at least 1 week after the asterisk first
appears.
*
Not available in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.
†
Note that this time is the minimum available for continuous program running—that is,
while continuously "operating" (as described in the footnote on the previous page). If
you are using the calculator for manual calculations—a mixture of the idle and
"operating" modes—the calculator can be used for a much longer time after the asterisk
first appears.
