15-1-1 Replacing the battery The STATUS LED lights up briefly when any switch is pressed. The color of the STATUS LED indicates the remaining battery power. If STATUS LED lights up in red, or not at all, replace the battery (CR-2032). Color of lit STATUS LED and remaining battery power • Blue: Battery power is sufficient. • Orange: Battery power has decreased. • Red or unlit: Battery is almost exhausted. Replace the battery.

1.

Slide the battery cover and remove it.

2.

To remove the battery, insert the battery cover into the slit between the battery and its holder.

3.
