If your Clock is not
powered for more than 2 years, this will cause the battery maintaining
the time in the Real-time Clock IC to go flat.
In order to change the
Real-time Clock's coin cell, you will need:
-
Turn the power to
the CapeClock off.
-
Remove the CapeClock
from the wall (if you have already mounted it) by loosening the two
mounting screws at the bottom of the clock sufficiently to remove the
clock off the bracket that is mounted on the wall. Take care, because
when the clock is pulled from the screws holding it to the wall-mounted
bracket, it will have nothing holding it up. To remove it from the
wall-mounted bracket completely, gently lower it, taking care that any
wires that are already connected are not strained.
-
Place the CapeClock
face-down on a protective cloth so that the readers and front are not
scratched. Remove the Back-plate by removing the 4 galvanized nuts that
keep it attached to the CapeClock box.
-
Remove the coin cell
from its holder (you can gently prize it out with a flat screw-driver)
and insert the new coin cell.
-
Attach the Back-plate
to the CapeClock box using the 4 galvanized nuts.
-
Replace the CapeClock
back onto its wall bracket, ensuring that the tongue of the back-plate
is inserted into the corresponding groove in the wall-mounted bracket.
Secure the CapeClock onto the wall-mounted bracket (see Figure 3) with the 2 Mounting
screws at the bottom of the CapeClock, ensuring that the cable cover
plate (see Figure 4) is correctly positioned.
