1. Unscrew the two thumbscrews (5) of the battery compartment cover plate and
remove the cover plate.
2. Use the tab attached to the battery to slide the battery out of the battery
compartment.
3. Fit a new or re-charged battery into the battery compartment, observing the keyed
orientation.

The battery does not necessarily need to be new or re-charged. The ADTS
Touch will function safely and correctly with a flat battery when the umbilical
cable or dock charging supply is connected.

cover must be fitted correctly to maintain protection afforded.
2.2 Battery Care and Maintenance
The battery unit contains a Lithium-ion battery which requires no user maintenance. If
shipping an ADTS Touch and/or battery unit please contact your local service center
beforehand for shipping requirements. Battery must be removed from the ADTS Touch during
transportation. Prolonged exposure to temperature extremes may significantly reduce
battery lifetime. For maximum lifetime, avoid prolonged periods where the battery is exposed
to temperatures outside the range -30°C to +45°C.
The recommended storage temperature range is 5°C to 21°C (41°F to 98.8°F).
The battery is removable. The manufacturer makes the following safety recommendations.
The user should not:
• Short circuit the battery.
• Immerse the battery in any liquid.
• Disassemble or deform the battery.
• Expose to, or dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Subject the battery to excessive physical shock or vibration outside the specified
limits for the ADTS.
• Use a battery that appears to have suffered abuse.
• Charge with an unspecified charger or specified charger that has been modified. This
can cause breakdown of the battery or swelling and rupturing.
• Use a battery in an appliance or purpose for which it was not intended.
The battery unit is sealed for life, so leakage of electrolyte is not expected. If leakage of
electrolyte from the battery is observed, stop using the battery immediately and avoid
contact with the electrolyte. If skin or clothes come into contact with the electrolyte, wash
CAUTION
When the battery compartment cover plate is removed and
the ADTS touch is tilted with the battery compartment facing downwards,
the battery can fall out of the ADTS touch causing damage to the battery.
