PRO TIP
The Ni-Cd battery is held in place using strips of hook and loop material that are pre-installed at the front of the battery
mounting slot and on the bottom of the Ni-Cd battery. When you install the Ni-Cd battery in the next procedure, make sure you push
the Ni-Cd battery firmly into position, to ensure that the hook and loop material holds the Ni-Cd battery securely in place.

mounting slot and that the hook and loop material holds the Ni-Cd battery
