Keep the batteries away from children. If swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately.
Batteries should be properly disposed of according to local
regulations.
When handling a new, fully charged battery, avoid clasp-
like contact, i.e. simultaneous from both sides, with metal
or electrically conducting tools, like tweezers. This may
short-circuit the battery causing it to discharge more
rapidly. Typically, short circuiting does not damage the
battery, but it may decrease the capacity and lifetime of
the battery.
Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with wrong
type.
Changing Cycling Computer Battery
1. Using a coin that sits tight into
the back cover groove, open
the battery cover by pressing
slightly and unscrewing counter
clockwise.
2. Remove the battery cover. The
battery is attached to the cover,
which should be carefully lifted
with a suitable sized small
rigid stick or bar, such as a
toothpick. A non-metal tool is
preferable. Remove the battery
and replace with a new one. Be
careful not to damage the threads of the back cover.
3. Place the negative (-) side of the battery against the
cycling computer and the positive (+) side against the
cover.
4. The sealing ring of the battery cover is also attached to
the cover. Only replace the sealing ring if it is damaged.
Before closing the battery cover, make sure that the
cover’s sealing ring is undamaged and it is placed
correctly in its groove.
