11 Changing of battery pack
All VERTEX Lite Collars have user changeable battery packs (exception: 1c- fix
battery). Make sure to follow the instructions to prevent any damage to the collar and its
parts when changing the battery pack.
NOTE : If you change the battery of a collar with Drop Off, please note the Drop Off
number on the battery housing . This ensures that you can reach the Drop Off that you
actually want to reach when retrieving the collar, especially for remote Drop Offs!
NOTE : Be careful when un- or replugging the battery connector pins since they can
break if bended.
NOTE : Store the battery package at room temperature.
There are 3 different belt shapes. For each shape the battery changing procedure
differs a little. Please follow the links for the respective instructions.

Unscrew the two nuts attaching the battery pack to the adjustable side of the collar with
an 8 or 7 mm (depending on collar size) hexagon socket wrench (delivered with the
collar). Remove the black base plate. The screws are integrated into the battery pack
and cannot be removed.
