Removing/Replacing the Main Battery
The main battery may be periodically replaced with a charged battery as an alternative to connecting the unit to the
external battery charger.
Prior to removing the main battery, press the Power button to place the reader in suspend mode (off). The Battery
LED must be off.
1.
Rotate the door latch (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-2 ) counterclockwise 1/4 turn to disengage the battery door
latch and open the battery door.
2.
The battery door switch detects the door opening and initiates a battery removal shutdown. Pause 3-4 seconds
while the reader performs battery removal shutdown.
3.
Hold the battery release up and pull the battery out.
4.
If a replacement battery is being used, insert the battery into the battery slot as shown in Figure 1-3 on page
1-5 . Ensure the battery is fully inserted, the battery release engages the battery when it is fully inserted. If no
battery is being inserted the unit can maintain the configuration settings for approximately 1/2 hour (with a fully
charged internal backup battery).
5.
Close the battery door and rotate the door latch clockwise 1/4 turn to engage the battery door latch.
