To replace the AA Battery Case

!" Unsnap the AA battery pack utilizing the thumb recess on the top of the case.

!" Insert AA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that the positive and negative contacts are in the correct orientations, as labeled inside the cover.

!" Replace the cover by hooking the case together at the bottom and gently snapping it closed.

!" Align the slide track on the top of the replacement battery case with the slide track on the underside of the Processor.

!" Guide the battery case onto the Processor slide track and slide the case until it engages into place on the Processor. Do not force the battery case, it is designed to be inserted in only one direction.

Forcing the case may jam or damage the slide mechanism.

!" Perform the system check sequence Steps 1-3, as described in the beginning of this section.

2. The Cable

The cable provides a relay for the transfer of signals between the Headpiece and the Processor. At one end of the cable is a single-pin (coaxial) plug that is inserted into the Headpiece jack. The jack is located at the top of the Processor. At the other end of the cable is a two-pin plug that is inserted into the Headpiece. A strain relief portion near the two-pin plug is designed to protect the cable from damage during handling.

To replace the Cable:

!" Turn the Program Switch to the off position.

!" Remove the Headpiece from the Cable by holding the cable at its strain relief portion and gently pulling the cable away from the Headpiece. Disconnect the cable from the Processor.

!" Insert the single-pin plug of the replacement Cable into the Headpiece jack, and insert the two-pin plug into the headpiece connector. Take care to match the larger pin on the plug to the larger hole of the Headpiece connector.
