5.1 Badge Battery Replacement
Warning! A low battery may affect system performance. Change low batteries at first
indication.
Note:
Static electricity can damage batteries. When changing badge batteries, it is
critical to be grounded, such as by using a static strap and an Electro-Static Device mat
to protect from any shock that would damage the battery or the badge.
5.1.1 Locator Badge (VER-1700)
Battery type: Lithium, 3.5V 750 mAH
1. Place the Locator badge face down on an anti-static mat.
2. Using a small Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw and back cover of the badge, and
flip the badge over to remove the circuit board.
3. To remove the old battery, grasp the battery with your thumb and forefinger, and gently lift
the battery straight up, being careful to not remove the connector rings (brass inserts) from
inside the battery ports on the circuit board. If the connector rings are removed, the battery
will not make a solid connection.
If a connector ring does pull out with the battery, push it back into the battery port before
replacing with a new battery.
4. Insert the new battery prongs straight into the battery ports, making sure the battery prongs
are firmly seated.
5. Replace the cover and gently tighten the badge screw.
