30 Getting Started
Removing the Battery Cover
Your new batteries are shipped uncharged and
fitted with protective covers.
Save the covers for storing and carrying unused
batteries. The covers prevent metal objects from
contacting both battery terminals, which can reduce
the risk of injury, or damage from a battery short
circuit.

Remove the Battery Safety Cover

1. Press in the release latch.
2. Continue pushing in and upwards until the
battery slips free from its cover.

Attach the Battery Safety Cover

1. Lower the side opposite the latch into the
cover.
2. Slip the side with the release latch down
until it clicks.
