Safety Notice - Battery Replacement
The Video Server uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as the power
supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). This battery will, under
normal conditions, 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 battery replacement is
required.
The battery should not be replaced unless required!
If the battery does need replacing, observe the following points:
Caution!
• Danger of Explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced
• Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
