Appendix C Using the Battery Option

Replacing the Batteries

NOTE

The thumbscrews require a considerable amount of turning force, since

 

 

they pull the battery sled partially out of the Counter and also extract the

 

 

battery terminals from the battery connector as you turn them. To prevent

 

 

the battery sled from binding and increasing the force necessary to turn

 

 

the thumbscrews, either turn both thumbscrews simultaneously, or

 

 

alternately turn the thumbscrews one-half turn each, until both

 

 

thumbscrews are fully out of the threaded holes in the back panel.

 

 

 

3

Slide the battery sled out the back of the Counter.

 

 

 

CAUTION

Avoid placing the battery sled and/or the batteries where the battery

 

 

terminals could contact any conductive surfaces.

 

 

 

4

Lift the terminal end of either or both batteries up out of the battery sled,

 

 

and then pull the battery(ies) out of the sled.

 

 

Installing Batteries

 

 

To install batteries in the Counter, use the following procedure:

1

If you have not previously removed the battery sled from the Counter and

 

 

the batteries from the sled, do so now (see “Removing the Batteries” on the

 

 

previous page).

2

Position the battery sled so that the back (taller) end is to your left as

 

 

shown in Figure C-3
