The time printer has a low battery detection check every hour. If the
display battery is low, the BATT indicator will show on the display.
Replace the display battery with a new CR2032 (
RS
stock no. 597-201)
lithium cell. Do not use for a prolonged period on low battery as it may
cause damage to the time printer. Replace with new batteries
immediately when BATT appears on display.

2. Use a pair of tweezers or paperclip to rotate the roll counter
clockwise and pull out (fig 2).
3. Apply a few drops of ink onto the roller and insert ink roll back into
place (fig 3).
4. Replace ink compartment door (fig 4).
Maintenance and care
To properly maintain the time printer, please note the following:
1. Do not touch the printer head or belt when printing. It will cause the
printer to malfunction.
2. Replace the LCD display battery with a new lithium cell CR2032 (
RS

appears on display.
3. Replace printer batteries with four new 'AA' batteries (
