WARNING
Short-circuiting a battery can cause injury and
battery damage. Do not allow any wire or tool
to connect the positive and negative terminals
on a battery. This could damage the battery or
cause a spark.
2.4 Replace the Hooked
fastening Strips (If Needed)
Verify that each new battery has a looped fastening strip at-
tached, and that the case has two hooked strips attached.
1. Inspect the hooked strips in the case. If they are clean,
undamaged, and held the old batteries in place securely,
skip the rest of this section. If the strips appear to be
unsuitable in any way, go to step 2.
Note:
Mark the locations of the old strips. It is important to
attach the replacement strips at these locations to ensure good
contact with the looped strips on the batteries.
2. As needed, remove one or both of the old fastening strips
from the case.
3. If needed, dab a small amount of alcohol onto a cloth (or
use a disposable towelette or cleaning wipe) to clean the
area where the old strips were attached.
Do not use water
and do not pour any liquid into the POWERPac. Do
NOT get PC Board wet.
Dry the area thoroughly before
attaching the new fastening strips.
4. Remove the paper backing from the new hooked strip(s)
and press the strip(s) firmly to the lower housing for three
to five seconds for good adhesion.
Important
Water or any other liquid in the POWERPac can
damage the electrical components. Only use a
moist cloth or sponge to clean the case. DO NOT
clean electrical components.
