Memory preservation
This unit does no1 require memory preservalion batteries. A built-
in memory power backup system preserves the conlents of the
memory during power failures and even when the POWER
switch is set 1ooff. The POWER switch must be set to on in order
to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off
varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the
average, memory conlents are protected over a period of a few
weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This period
is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.
