Changing the Batteries
The battery has an approximate lifetime of 5 years. Schedule replacement at some time
less than this to ensure consistent performance. Both batteries should be replaced when one
of the batteries is reported as low.
CAUTION !
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
VORSICHT !
Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie.
Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen
gleichwertigen Typ.
Entsorgung gebrauchter Batterien nach Angaben des Herstellers.
Removing the batteries will destroy the current configuration. It is recommended
that you perform a DUMP of the configuration using the Options found in the Access
Set-Up Menu before removing the batteries.
DO NOT OPERATE the bridge/router without both batteries, as even in the
discharged state they complete an important circuit. Leave the discharged batteries
in place until new batteries are obtained.
1)
Acquire two new 2430 Lithium batteries. The new batteries should be Sanyo or
Renata CR2430, or equivalent
2)
Dump the configuration, so it can be saved to disc and loaded back once battery
replacement is completed.
3)
Remove power from the bridge/router and open the front. Remove the main board.
4)
Before touching the PCB, touch something metal to reduce the chance of static
discharge harming the electronic circuits.
5)
Carefully lift the center tab securing each battery enough so that the battery can be
removed. Note the position of the old battery.
6)
Install the new batteries, taking care to install them in the same position as the old
batteries.
7)
Install the main board, close the front, and power up the bridge/router.
8)
Use the Load command found in the Access Set-Up Menu to load the
configuration that was saved to disc with the Dump command.
