of both hands in the flared handle of the case. Pull the front of the case out and away from
the back – enough to clear the two metal latching pins.
Inserting a RAM Card (Disk B)
1. Power down the programmer before installing a RAM card. (Select 5200 OFF in the
Product Handler menu.) RAM cards are not hot pluggable. Inserting a RAM card with the
programmer powered up may result in damage to disk data and system software.
2. Unplug the External Power cord and open the programmer case as described on the
previous page.
3. One end of the RAM card has a shiny metallic strip, and the other end has a write-protect
switch. Insert the metallic-strip end of the RAM card into the RAM card slot (see Figure
28) with the shiny metallic strip facing
down .
WARNING: Do not touch the RAM card connector assembly! Static discharge can
damage or destroy programmer components and data stored in programmer memory. An
error message will be displayed on power-up if programmer components have been
damaged.
To Remove a RAM Card:
1. Power down the programmer before removing a RAM card. (Select 5200 OFF in the
Product Handler menu.) RAM cards are not hot unpluggable. Removing a RAM card with
the programmer powered up may result in damage to disk data and system software.
2. Unplug the External Power cord and open the programmer case as described on the
previous page.
3. Grasp the RAM card from its sides, and gently ease it out of the socket.
To Write-Protect a RAM Card:
With the card plugged into the programmer, move the write-protect strip to the left position.
To Replace the RAM Card Battery:
Leave the RAM card plugged into the programmer. If the RAM disk does not have a
source of power (i.e. from the programmer) when the battery is removed, all data on
the disk will be erased.
Locate the tiny slot for removing the RAM card battery (in the black plastic edge near the write-
protect switch). Insert the end of a small screwdriver into the tiny slot and pry out the battery
holder. Replace the battery, inserting the new battery + side up as marked on the battery
holder. Insert the battery holder back into the RAM card battery + side up.
Changing the Batteries
When the message LOW BATTERY is displayed, it is time to replace the four alkaline C cell
batteries. Simply open the programmer case as described above, take out the four old
batteries, and install new ones. Proper battery direction is pictured on the base of the battery
holder (beneath the batteries). NOTE: The D5200 does not recharge the batteries. Tests
conducted by Radionics have indicated that the programmer can operate on high-quality
alkaline batteries (with no other power source) for 8 hours of continuous use. Rechargeable
batteries may provide only 1/2 the life of high quality non-rechargeable alkaline batteries.
