Battery settings
You can set either the lithium ion battery or the AA
batteries as the main power source and the other as the
backup source when both are installed. (See “Setting the

main source becomes insucient for operation, the unit
automatically switches to the backup source, allowing
continued operation.
Moreover, when using AA batteries, the battery type must
be set in order for the unit to display remaining time and
operate correctly. (See “Setting the type of AA batteries (AA
BATTERY)” on page 51.)
