Replacing The Date Battery - Canon PowerShot S3 IS Advanced User's Manual

Replacing the Date Battery

If the LCD monitor (or viewfinder) displays the Date/Time menu when
you turn on the camera, this means that the date battery has run down
and the clock has stopped running. Please purchase a replacement
battery (lithium coin battery CR1220) and install it as follows.
The date battery is preinstalled at the factory and may
therefore expire earlier than its rated lifespan after the camera
has been purchased.
Be particularly careful to keep the date batteries out of the
reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a
child swallows a battery since corrosive battery fluids could
damage the stomach or intestinal wall.
