Solution 11286: Replacing the Batteries in a BA Real Estate™.
What type of battery is used in the BA Real Estate and how is it installed?
The BA Real Estate uses two A-76 batteries. Comparable battery model numbers include:
Duracell D357
Eveready 357
To replace the batteries:
• Turn the calculator off and place if face down on a table or desk.
• Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the six (6) screws from the back case.
• Lift the bottom edge of the back case, and then lift off the whole back case.
• Remove the discharged batteries and install the new ones positive side up, as shown in the diagram inside the battery compartment.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with the other calculator components while changing the batteries.
• Replace the back case, top edge first, and then replace the screws.
• Press the [ON/C] key twice, and the calculator is ready to be used.
**Note: The calculator cannot retain data when the battery is removed or becomes discharged. Replacing the battery has the same effect as resetting the calculator.
