Changing the main battery

Pulling the battery out

5Carefully slide the battery release latch to the left and use the finger slot near the corner of the battery module to gently pull the battery module free.

WARNING: If the battery is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective gloves to handle it, and discard it immediately following the advice in “Disposing of used batteries safely” on page 90.

Inserting a charged battery

1Wipe the battery terminals of the charged battery with a clean cloth to ensure a good connection.

2Holding the battery at an angle, insert the end facing you into the front of the battery slot.

Make sure that end fits evenly with the surrounding casing.

3If you have inserted that end correctly, you will be able to gently press the rear end into place until the battery latch snaps shut. If that end resists, don’t force it. Simply start over.
