Removing and replacing the back-up batteries
The back-up batteries may need to be replaced for a number of reasons, for example, end-of-life,
insufficient capacity, etc.
CAUTIONS:
The back-up batteries contain substances that are potentially hazardous to your
health and to the environment.
If the back-up batteries are replaced for any reason, the old batteries cannot be
disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. See the product
documentation for specific battery information. The batteries are marked with this
symbol, which may include lettering to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury
(Hg). For proper recycling, return the batteries to your local supplier or to a
designated collection point. For more information see: www.recyclethis.info.
WARNINGS:
THE BACK-UP BATTERIES, ALTHOUGH AT ONLY 24 VDC, CARRY ENOUGH CHARGE TO
BE DANGEROUS.
When connecting batteries, or when working in the vicinity of the battery terminals,
take care not to accidentally cause a short circuit. In particular metallic tools or
metallic watchstraps can also inflict SEVERE burns to the user as well as cause a
short circuit.
Remove the back-up batteries as follows:
1. Disconnect the connections from the positive and negative terminals on the back-up
batteries.
2. Loosen and remove the wing nut from the batteries securing bracket (see Figure 75 below).
3. Remove the bracket securing the back-up batteries to the chassis.
4. Remove the back-up batteries.
5. Return removed batteries to your local supplier for recycling.
