KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death in
as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.
Immediately see doctor.
Replace the RTC lithium battery before it is completely discharged. Replace the battery
every 5 years even if the battery is still working properly. The lithium battery must be
replaced only with an identical
CR1025
Lithium / Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery.
Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge, do
not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and protect
from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and the battery manufacturer's
instructions.
The RTC backup battery holder is soldered to the bottom layer of the circuit board,
between the GPIO connectors. In the Strato Pi Base server, the battery is not accessible
from the outside. You should first remove the case top body to gain access to the Strato Pi
Base circuit board.
Before opening the Strato Pi Base case, disconnect all power sources, any connection to
external devices, including USB cables.
Use a non-conductive pin or small tool to help extract the battery from its holder. Insert the
new battery with a gentle push. You don't need tools to insert the battery. The battery is
held into place by a spring contact.
Be sure to insert the battery so that the positive (+) terminal of the battery is in contact with
the outer body of the battery holder, and the negative (-) terminal is in contact with the
contact pad of the circuit board, as shown in the photo below.
Reversing the battery polarity may damage the product.
The real time clock will reset its time immediately when the RTC backup battery is
disconnected.
Follow these steps, in the exact order, to open the case and replace the battery:
1. Remove the microSD card (the card will be damaged if you open the case with the
card still inserted)
2. Remove the black plastic DIN rail hook
3. With a small flat screwdriver gently separate the bottom case and boards assembly
from the top cover. Be careful to avoid damage to the USB ports metal frame. Units
with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B have a different arrangement of the top cover cuts
around the USB and Ethernet ports. Do not flex that part to much to avoid permanent
deformation of damage of the enclosure
4. Use a non-conductive pin or small tool to help extract the battery from its holder
5. Insert the new battery with a gentle push. Respect the battery polarity
