Figure 56: Removing the battery connector from round collar, standard battery pack
Unscrew the nuts attaching the bracket to the collar to gain more flexibility around the
battery pack (Figure above, left).
Be careful when moving the battery pack. Unplug
the battery connector by carefully pulling the bracket away from the battery pack (Figure
above, centre). Be careful to avoid any damage to the connector!
To attach a new battery pack remove the O-ring around the battery connector (be careful
not to damage the cables). Replace the O- ring on the battery plug.
Carefully push the
three threaded pins of the connector plug into the connector socket. Tighten the bracket
to the collar with new self-locking nuts and screw the battery pack to the bracket with
unused screws to ensure that the self-locking coating on the screws is not damaged.
Apply fresh O-ring around the battery connector to protect the contacts from humidity
and to prevent sticks and debris from being caught between collar and battery pack.
NOTE: After you changed the battery pack of your collar, a GPS coldstart is necessary.
For this please refer to GPS Monitor.

hexagon socket wrench (Figure above, centre), then open the screws attaching the
battery pack to the collar with a 3 mm hexagon socket key (“Inbus” or “Allen key”,
delivered with the new battery pack) starting with the exterior screws (Figure above,
right).
