Replacing the Batteries

CAUTION
12
When the batteries have lost most of their charge, an empty battery icon
appears at the top right corner of the Falcon screen. Refer to the icons on
the left for the specific icon for each model.
• The Falcon also can be programmed to emit a beep at intervals
when the battery is low.
• The backup battery will protect all data in memory while the other
batteries are out of the unit.
After recharging or replacing the batteries and turning the Falcon back on,
the unit will return to the application operating when it was turned off.
The Falcon has an automatic-shutoff feature that helps conserve battery
life while not in use.
• When a specified amount of time has passed since a key or a trigger
has been pressed, the Falcon turns itself off.
• All data in memory is maintained.
• Press the power button to turn the unit back on.
When the empty-battery icon appears or the warning beep is heard, turn
off the Falcon and recharge or replace the batteries as soon as possible.
Replaceable batteries are located in a compartment in the back of the Fal-
con. Refer to
Figure 4 on page 13
for diagrams of the different Falcon models.

Turn the Falcon portable off before changing the batteries. Removing batter-
