There's a battery? Who'd have thought. I know it says battery failure when
doing a RAM clear but had assumed (ha) it was just a way of saying that the
process had taken place. Maybe standard device text.
So where is the battery? Not on the CPU/DSP board. What is it's function?
Which schematic is it on? Coin cell? What expected life? Hopefully changing
requires no special procedure. Who knows? Questions questions??!!
Thanks
Martin, HS0ZED

There's a battery behind the front panel of the Orion. It may need to be
replaced. Follow the old instructions on the Tentec site for how to modify
the Orion for the Version 2 sweep to get to the battery.
