The AXIS 241Q/241S uses a 3.0V CR2032 Lithium battery as 

the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). This 

battery will, under normal conditions, last for a minimum of 5 

years. Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, 

causing it to reset at every power-up. A log message will appear 

when battery replacement is required.

The battery should not be replaced unless required!

If the battery does need replacing, observe the following points:

Caution!

• Danger of Explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced

• Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as 

   recommended by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's 

   instructions.
