Wait a minimum of three minutes to ensure that there is no power to the battery.

As outlined in the previous section, open the unit by sliding up the plastic latch on the right side of the front panel
(standard front panel) or unscrewing the panel (enhanced front panel).
4.
For the standard front panel, it
needs to be removed in order to access the power supply module, which is typically in
the first slot on the left side and blocked by the hinge of the front panel. To remove the front panel, unscrew the bracket
on the left side of the unit.
5.
Remove the power supply module by simultaneously pulling the ejector clips at the top and bottom of the module and
sliding it out.

Unscrew all four screws (not three) that attach the metal cover to the module. The fourth screw is at the back end of
the module, on the opposite side from the clips, beside the white electronics part (see figure).
7.
Slide the metal cover away from the clips about 0.5 cm (1/8 inch) and remove the cover.
8.
Unclip the black plastic holder that keeps the battery in place. The plastic clips into the socket at the bottom on both
sides—pull the plastic away from the battery. Use a flat-head screwdriver if you cannot unclip the plastic with your
fingers.
9.
Replace the battery with the identical make and model. For example, do not use a rechargeable battery. Observe the
+ and - polarity of the battery and replace it with the same polarity as marked on the battery holder.
