with a cloth into the slit of the corner and
twist it to separate the upper part from
the lower part.
3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery: CR2032 or equiva-
lent.
● Do not touch the internal circuit and
electric terminals as it could cause a
malfunction.
● Hold the battery by the edges. Holding
the battery across the contact points will
