# Changing the button cell

To save the time and other settings on the radio, a button cell must be inserted as a back-up battery.

Before using the radio for the first time, remove the protective strip of the inserted button cell.

Disengage the locking lever (13) of the battery cover and open the battery cover (12) flap.

If required, remove the rechargeable battery (17).

Pull the protective film out under the cover (18) of the button cell.

Replace the button cell once the radio no longer saves the time and the display gets weaker.

To do this, turn the cover (18) of the button cell anticlockwise (e.g. with a coin) and remove the cover. Insert a new button cell.

When doing so, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the cover (18).

Put the cover (18) of the button cell back on and turn it firmly clockwise. The cover is only securely locked if the markings on the cover and padlock symbol are facing each other.

- Take the button cell out of the radio if you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. When stored in the radio for longer periods, the button cell can corrode and discharge itself.
