While the estimated life of a fresh battery in the unit is approximately one year, this can be shortened considerably if the compass, altimeter or EL systems of the unit are used extensively. Whenever you are experiencing issues related to the function of the unit it is recommended that you install a fresh battery as a first course of action, especially if it has been more than a half a year since the last time the battery was replaced. -
Page 22: Care And Maintenance
