RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the low battery warning indicator, the lithium battery may become ® exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet internal computer.
