Question The battery LED is illuminated on by DL305. How do I replace the battery without losing the program?
Answer You should always make a backup copy of the program using either the Handheld programmer with a cassete tape or using DirectSOFT with a DCU (Data Communications Unit) if at all possible. Then, power down the DL305, remove the old battery and install a new battery (D3-D4-BAT). The memory is capacitor backed and will last several minutes allowing time to replace the old battery.
