dim purple, press the [Enter] key. The setup menu should run automatically. Note: If you

Replacing the Battery

The CR2032 3V lithium coin cell battery should last at least 1 year under normal use. If

your computer provides continuous power to the mouse (i.e. you can see the optical mouse

glowing red in the dark when the computer is off) and keyboard even when turned off,

your battery may last for years. It only supplies power to the real time clock when the PC

Moderator does not have a source of power. If you notice the clock does not keep time but

occasionally resets to some random time/date, especially after the computer is turned off,

the battery has most likely run out of power and will need to be replaced.

To remove the battery, turn off the computer and unplug it from the wall power. Remove

the lock and pull the cover back exposing the internals of the PC Moderator as shown in

the following photo.

Pry the side of the battery up (as pictured above) with a flat non-metallic object – even

your finger may do. Pull the battery out from under the cables. Install a new battery (+ side

up) into the battery holder. Place the right side of the battery down in the holder first and

then snap the left side down to lock the coin cell battery in place. When correctly installed,

the battery should appear like the one in the photo above.

Tip: Be careful of the internal cables. Move these wires as little as possible to change the

battery or replace the cover.
