Replacing the storage battery
With time, the charging capacity of all lead/acid storage batteries declines. We therefore recommend
replacing the storage battery after approximately 300 charging cycles.
Replacing the storage battery does not cause loss of data (menu settings)!

derneath the balance (6 screws).
• Remove the retaining bracket of the storage

screw the retaining bracket tight.
