The memory must be cleared before using the unit for the first time.

Navigate to the “Clear Memory of ON/OFF times” Sub Menu as shown in Fig 3.3.
Press “Enter” to activate this option. If DIP switch 4 is set to “ON” the screen will display the message shown in Fig 3.15.

Switch 1 - Battery Backup  

When switch 1 is set to the “ON” position the internal battery is connected to the units clock chip. If power is 
ever
removed the battery will ensure the clock chip continues to run and therefore keep the current time.
 NOTE : This battery does not provide backup power to the entire A 1708 unit. The display will not light up and 
the unit will not function. Only the internal clock chip will still be supplied power.
If the entire A 1708 requires backup power a backup power supply can be connected to the 24V DC input.
