What type of Backup Battery?!?

In my excitement to show off my Axim at work, I left the book at home. Appearantly these things don't ship with a back-up battery, or it is somewhere in my box at home.

Does anyone know what type of battery it is? I would like to run out to the drug store or something to get a replacement.

Thx!

CR2032 3v coin cell. Look in your box, it should be there. (mine came with one)

I remember reading posts from other Axim owners that they accidentally threw out the backup battery with some of the packing material. Mine came in just a small piece of plastic (about 1X1.5") stuck somewhere in the box. I found it under the sofa after I read in the manual that it had to be inserted.

Go to RadioShack and ask for a 23-162 and you will get set right up.

Yeah, had the same issue. Didn't realize that the backup battery wasn't installed until I got the message about the low battery. Finally found the little package, it's in there just hope you didn't throw it out.

This is kinda sad that no one reads their guides or instructions. There is a reason why this stuff comes with a Read me first guide. It should tell you all the things that came with your axim. Possibly on the receipt/shipping form as well.
