Greetings,

after a few days  of not using  our scanner  I switched it on yesterday,
but it failed to connect to our WiFi until I again  set the pass phrase.
Today though, it did connect after powering up.

Does anybody out there know  what kind of storage holds this pass phrase
and whether or not  some coin cell  is involved  which may have drained?
Searching the manual for "coin" and "cell" did not turn up anything, but
this could just mean  that replacing  the coin cell  requires some screw
drivers and thus is not  as straight forward  as replacing  an ink cart-
ridge.

Any hints welcome :-)

Sincerely,
  Rainer
