Grant,

thanks! I did not know that, or had already forgotten this twelve years after assembling the rig. I was also thinking that a backup and restore of the settings would be sufficient. I am going to replace it soon.

The battery supports the real time clock only. You won’t lose any other settings if you replace it.

Hi,

has anyone already changed the CR2032 backup battery in a K3? Under the carton cover the battery has started to oxydize but the Voltage is still 3.06 Volts after twelve years. I guess an external 3 Volts source should be applied to save all settings during the replacement.
