ton at the tone for accurate adjustment.)
When the time and date have been changed, press the select button

<Replacing the Data back battery>
As a long-life lithium battery (CR2025) is used in the Data back, it only needs
to be replaced at 3-4-year intervals. As the battery deteriorates the date and
time display become faint, and the LCD no longer functions in the normal man-
ner. When this stage is reached, the battery should be replaced in the diagram
(battery replacement every 2 to 3 years is recommended if the Data back is
used frequently).
Remove the screw holding the
battery cover on the data back,
and open the cover.
With the + terminal of the new
battery facing outwards, place it
in the battery compartment and
replace the cover and screw.
• Always reset the date and time after replac-
ing the battery.
