Appendix C Using the Battery Option

Replacing the Batteries

3Holding one of the batteries so the battery terminals are to your right and the plus sign at the terminal end is facing away from you, insert the left-hand end of the battery into the taller end of the battery sled with the far side of the battery against the far side of the sled. Lower the right end of the battery into the sled, and push down on the battery until it is down as far as it can go. Insert the second battery next to the first one in the same manner.

NOTE

The batteries fit snugly into the sled, so it is important to keep them

 

aligned with the sides of the sled. If you attempt to insert a battery, and it

 

is not parallel with the sides of the sled, it will bind.

 

 

4When both batteries are fully inserted in the sled, insert the sled into the battery-chamber opening in the Counter’s back panel (terminal end first).

5Slide the sled into the battery chamber until you can start the thumb- screws into the threaded holes in the Counter’s back panel (turn the thumbscrews clockwise). You may have to push against the back end of the battery sled to insert it far enough for the thumb screws to contact the back panel.

6Tighten the two thumb screws on the battery sled until both thumbscrews are fully hand tight and the back cover of the battery sled is flush against the Counter’s back panel.

NOTE

The thumbscrews require a considerable amount of turning force, since

 

they push the battery sled into the Counter and also insert the battery

 

terminals into the battery connectors as you turn them. To prevent the

 

battery sled or the terminals from binding or jamming, either turn both

 

thumbscrews simultaneously, or alternately turn the thumbscrews

 

one-half turn each, until the battery sled is fully inserted.
