INSTALLING
A 9V BATTERY
Ensure that the Ego8 is switched off. Lay the marker on a flat
surface in front of you with the feed tube furthest away and with
the barrel pointing to the right.
Use a 5/64” (2mm) hex wrench to remove the three countersunk
screws that hold the rubber grip onto the frame. Peel the grip to
the right to expose the circuit board within the frame.
Remove any fitted battery by sliding your thumb or finger into
the recess below the battery and levering the battery out of the
frame (SEE FIGURE 2.1).
DO NOT pull on the top of the battery to remove it as this can
cause the battery terminals to bend and will result in a poor
electrical connection.
Fit a 9-volt alkaline battery (type PP3, 6LR61 or MN1604) into the
recess with the battery terminals away from you. The positive
terminal should be on the right hand side, nearest to the side of
the frame (SEE FIGURE 2.2).
Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of the frame and
away from the trigger microswitch and opto sensors so as not
to interfere with their operation and replace the rubber grip and
replace the three countersunk screws.
DO NOT over-tighten the screws.
NOTE: BATTERY VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED 10 VOLTS. SOME 9 VOLT
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES CAN EXCEED THIS VOLTAGE IF OVER
CHARGED. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
