Well.. I'd searched for this manual and although I found many copies online I was pleased to find your website with a well balanced pricing system and easy to search and follow links. That together with the very quick response time was just what I was looking for.. being a very impatient tech.. ;-) I had the service manual in front of me within a short time.
Bookmarked.. and you can bet I will always come here first for my service & user manuals..
best regards

The service manual when downloaded and printed out was clear and easy to read. I would have liked to have been able to enlarge some details, but this was not possible as the file permissions did not allow this. The service was very good. The time taken from placing my order to downloading the document was only a few minutes.

REPLACING BATTERIES
The A-10/A-11 has a dual power supply that consists of main batteries and a back-up battery. Be sure to load the main batteries before using the A-10/A-11 for the first time after purchasing it. Also, replace batteries as soon as possible after they start to lose power. Important! • Never remove both the main batteries and the back-up battery from the A-10/A-11 at the same time. If you do, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely. • Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or the optional rechargeable battery pack for the main power supply and a CR2032 lithium battery for the back-up power supply. Never use any other types of batteries with the A-10/A-11. • Be sure to keep track of the battery life of both the main batteries and the back-up battery. If the batteries being used for both power supplies are low at the same time, data stored in memory can be corrupted or lost entirely.
Replacing the Main Batteries
1. Make sure the A-10/A-11 is turned off. If the A-10/A-11 is on, press the power switch to turn it off. 2. Close the A-10/A-11 and turn it over. 3. Slide and hold the battery holder release towards “REPLACE BATTERIES” and then carefully slide the main battery compartment from the A-10/A-11.
Note that the main battery holder release actually consists of two separate buttons. Slide and hold both of them towards “REPLACE BATTERIES”.
Grasp the center of the main battery holder when you slide it from the A-10/A-11.
