This information applies only to the

MaxTester Series units.

Replacing Batteries

Your unit uses a lithium-polymer battery that has been especially designed 
for EXFO. For this reason, you can only replace the main battery with a 
battery designed for your MaxTester unit. 
You can purchase new batteries from EXFO.

W

ARNING

Do not throw batteries into fire or water and do not short-circuit 
the battery’s electrical contacts. Do not disassemble.

W

ARNING

To avoid serious injuries as well as irreparable damage to your 
unit, ALWAYS TURN OFF YOUR UNIT (shutdown mode, not 
suspend) and DISCONNECT IT FROM THE AC POWER.

Be careful not to drop metal objects such as screws inside the 
unit. These could cause a short-circuit leading to a fire or an 
explosion.

C

AUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can cause complete or 
intermittent equipment failures. 

Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap when 
handling the unit while it is open. Ensure that the antistatic 
strap makes good skin contact and that the end of its wire is 
grounded properly.

All the components that you should be handling are identified 
in the procedure hereafter. Do not touch any other component 
inside the unit either with tools or your fingers.

To avoid damaging the new battery, handle it with care.

C

AUTION

Ensure that no foreign object falls inside the unit. This may cause 
irreparable damage to your unit.
