BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 
 
  The battery pack is pre-installed on your DC5s. It is not necessary to remove it for charging or 
normal operation. If you are using more than one battery pack you can remove the battery pack 
by simply sliding it off the DC5s unit. Some force may be necessary to overcome the mechanical 
detent.
