2. Check that the lever of the adjacent module (A) is in the unlocked (fully right) position.
3. Use the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots (B) to secure the modules together.
4. Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus connectors align with each other.
5. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to push the module bus lever back slightly to clear the positioning tab (C).
6. Move the module bus lever fully to the left (D) until it clicks, being sure it is locked firmly in place.

ATTENTION:
The 1769-BA battery is the only battery you can use with the 1769-L32E and 1769-L35E
controllers. The 1769-BA battery is also used with the 1769-L31, 1769-L32C, and 1769-L35CR controllers.
The 1747-BA battery is not compatible with the 1769-L32E and 1769-L35E controllers and can cause
problems.
WARNING:
When you connect or disconnect the battery, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding.
For safety information on the handling of lithium batteries, including handling and disposal of leaking
batteries, see Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries Technical Data, publication AG-5.4NOV04.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove the plastic insulation covering the battery. The insulation is necessary to protect the
battery contacts.
TIP
At the end of its life, the used battery should be collected separately from any
unsorted municipal waste and recycled.
This product may contain a lithium battery that needs to be replaced during the life of the
product. For instructions on the removal and replacement of the battery, see the appropriate
CompactLogix™ controller user manual, as listed below. At the end of its life, the battery
contained in this product should be collected separately from any unsorted municipal waste. The
collection and recycling of batteries helps protect the environment and contributes to the
conservation of natural resources as valuable materials are recovered.

occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
WARNING:
The CompactLogix controller is not designed for removal and insertion under power.
• If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
• Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
ATTENTION:
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a
metal panel.
This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation.
