2. Open Compartment: Carefully open the battery compartment. Use appropriate tools if necessary, such as a small screwdriver.
3. Remove Old Battery (if applicable): If replacing an old battery, gently remove it, noting its orientation (positive and negative terminals).
4. Insert New Battery: Insert the new Murata LR41 battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings in the compartment. The positive side is typically marked with a plus sign and is the flatter side of the coin cell.

Operating Guidelines

Once installed, the Murata LR41 battery will provide power to your device. No specific operational steps are required for the battery itself, as its function is to supply consistent voltage to the electronic device it powers.

• Ensure the device is turned off before battery installation or removal.
• If the device does not power on after battery installation, double-check the battery orientation and ensure the compartment is fully closed.
• The battery is designed for single use and is not rechargeable.
