This unit is equipped with a backup mechanism to count
down the time code generator while the power of the
unit is turned off. For details, refer to “Time code when
power is not supplied” (page 56).
The battery must be replaced periodically, since this unit
cannot count down and the numerical value of the time
code generator is reset if the backup battery voltage
drops below the specified value. However, it is not
necessary to replace the battery when it is not
necessary to drive the backup feature.
<NOTE>
Refer replacement of backup battery to qualified
service personel.
