Removing and replacing the battery
You shouldn't need to remove the battery, unless it is faulty.
To remove the battery:
1. Switch off the XO.
2. Close the lid, and turn the XO over, so that the XO logo appears on the underside.
3. Slide the right-hand side catch further to the right. It will remain in place.
4. Slide the left-hand side catch further to the left. Note that this catch is spring loaded -- you must
hold it in the desired position.
5. Lift the battery out from the central indentation between the two catches.
To replace the battery:
1. Line up the four notches on the battery with the long edge furthest from the catches.
2. Drop the battery into place.
3. Slide the left-hand side catch to the left, and press the battery gently into place.
4. Slide the right-hand side catch to the right, to lock the battery in place.
