Page 11: Replacing The Lithium Batteries
The NXC-ME260/64 is equipped with two lithium batteries (FG57-0013) that have a life of approximately 2.5 years to protect their memory. When DC power is on, the batteries (FIG. 4) are not used. - Page 12 NetLinx Module (NXS-xxx): Remove the rear panel from the Module, and remove the Master card. 3. Locate the two batteries behind the Program port on the NXC-ME260/64 circuit board. 4. Carefully slide one battery out of its socket and insert the new battery.
