Procedure:
Immediately after replacing the Lithium battery you must cycle the radio ON then OFF. Failure to follow this procedure will result in premature failure of the battery. If the power is not cycled ON then OFF the microprocessor will immediately begin drawing approximately 1 mA of power from the Lithium battery, resulting in poor battery life.
When the battery is replaced we recommend the insulation sheet also be changed. Part numbers for the battery and insulation sheet follow.
Parts required:
