Battery Replacement  
This Axis product uses a 3.0 V CR2032 Lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC).  
Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of 5 years. Low battery power affects the operation  
of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. A log message will appear when the battery needs replacing. The  
battery should not be replaced unless required!  
If the battery does need replacing, please contact www.axis.com/techsup for assistance.  
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.  
• Risk of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
