»To insert or replace the D400 battery:

Warning! Ensure that all hazardous live circuits are isolated or disconnected before attempting battery replacement.

1.Power down the D400.

2.Remove the D400 main module from the chassis.

5.Place the new battery into the battery holder, ensuring polarity is correct.

6.Replace the clip and press down until it clicks into the retaining notches in the battery holder.

7.Replace the D400 main module.

8.Power up the D400.

Checking Voltage

To check battery voltage, use a meter or other measuring device that has a high input impedance (10 Mohm or higher).

Cleaning and Handling Lithium Batteries

•Wear gloves or finger caps when handling batteries to keep them clean.

•Use non-conductive cleaning solution to prevent deterioration of battery performance

•Dry batteries at a temperature below 85 °C to prevent seal deterioration that may, in turn, result in leakage

Disposing of Batteries

The D400 lithium battery contains harmful chemicals.

The Lithium battery is recyclable. Dispose of battery according to local waste management regulations.

Battery Life

If the battery is disconnected, or if the D400 is never powered down, the life of the battery should exceed five years. The life of the battery will be severely shortened if the battery is left connected while the D400 is powered down for extended periods or stored.

For long-term storage:

•Keep the equipment at temperatures and humidity below normal

•Avoid shorting or loading while stored
