Replacing a Lithium Battery
The PIX 501 has a lithium battery on the main circuit board (see Figure 2-8). This battery has an
operating life of about ten years. When the battery loses its charge, the PIX security appliance cannot
function. The lithium battery is a field-replaceable unit (FRU). You can use a standard 3V lithium battery
to replace the used battery.
