Battery Information

Record the battery code (in initial settings

mode) and date of last battery installation
(written under top cover)

Battery Detection Circuit

Verify battery detection circuit in

adjustment mode. Adjust within 0.2V.

Battery Diagnostics

Run battery diagnostics in adjustment mode

and record the results in the order in which
they appear. Toggle through the results
with the remote control key. Replace
batteries after 2 years or if either side of
battery drops below 180V during exposure.
