8.2.1 Battery Replacement Instructions
Replace the ISAT-200 battery only with an approved STS ISAT-200 battery, or damage to the ISAT-
200 and/or the battery may result. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
CAUTION: Battery May Explode If Mistreated. Do Not Disassemble Or Dispose Of In Fire.
Do not install STS0044 in an ISAT-200 with mod status D.
To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:
1. Remove the ISAT-200 from the ITRAY-200.
2. Remove the battery cover from the ISAT-200.
3. Disconnect the battery connector from the ISAT-200.
4. Cut the cable ties securing the battery to the ISAT-200 battery cover, begin careful not to
damage the old battery case. Recycle or safely dispose of the old battery.
5. Mount the new battery, lining up the battery ends with the battery mounting foam. Make sure
that the bump on the battery is parallel to the battery cover and facing the closest edge of the
battery cover
or it won’t fit in the enclosure. See Figure 5.
6. Install provided cable ties (or equivalent) to secure the battery to the mounting brackets.
Tighten the cable ties to 28 +/- 4in-lbs. Ensure that cable ties do not contact the wires or the
circuit board in the battery under the heat shrink. Ensure that the locking tabs on the cable
ties are on the same side as the bump on the battery about half way up the battery in height
or else it will not fit into the enclosure. See Figure 5.
7. Visually inspect the battery installed to ensure secure installation.
8. Connect the battery connector to the ISAT-200.
9. Install the battery cover.
10. If replacing STS0044 with STS0061, circle mod status D on the ISAT-200 serial number label
with a permanent marker.
11. Install the ISAT-200 in the ITRAY-200.
12. Power up the ISAT-200 by applying aircraft power to the unit and wait 1 minute.
13. Disconnect aircraft power from the ISAT-200.
14. Verify that the battery operates. Acceptable methods for doing this include verifying a 'Mains
OFF' report is received by the base station or observing the ISAT-200 display and verifying
that the display operates briefly after the ISAT-200 main power is removed.

batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling by your
local battery recycling agency. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on recycling
