Removing/Replacing the Battery

1. Locate the ribbed battery door lock on the side of the pager. To unlock the

battery door, slide the lock away from the battery door.

2. Press on the indented, ribbed area of the battery door and slide the door in the

direction indicated by the arrowhead as shown in Figure 1-9. Release the door

and the door swings open.

3. Tilt the pager to allow the battery to slide out.

4. Hold the pager with the display facing down and insert a new AAA-size battery

so the positive (+) end of the battery enters first and slides to the bottom. Refer

to Figure 1-10.

5. Push down on the battery door and slide it back, in the opposite direction

indicated by the arrowhead on the door, until it snaps into place.

6. Ensure the battery door is closed and slide the ribbed battery door lock toward

the door.

This product contains static-sensitive devices. Use anti-static handling procedures

to prevent electrostatic discharge and component damage.
