The WP-2's internal backup battery is a CR2430 lithium battery (230-166). The
life of the battery is about three years (without using expansion RAM). When
the backup battery becomes weak, a warning is displayed and the entire screen
blinks. Replace the battery immediately to prevent losing the contents of RAM.

WARNING: Improper handling of the special lithium battery can cause a fire,
explosion, or severe burns. Never recharge, disassemble, or heat the battery
above 212'F (100'C). Never solder directly to the battery or expose the
contents of the battery to water.

Before replacing the backup battery, copy important files to cassette or
diskette. Then proceed as follows:

1. Use the point of a pencil to turn off the memory-protect switch on the side
   of the unit.

2. Remove the backup battery cover and take out the old battery.

3. Insert the new battery observing the polarity symbol (-) marked inside the
   battery compartment. Be sure that the positive (+) side of the battery
   faces up.

4. Replace the compartment cover.

5. Turn on the memory-protect switch.
