Changing the lithium battery of the BEETLE /XL

Changing the lithium battery

The BEETLE /XL is equipped with a lithium battery that ensures that the
date, time and setup parameters are retained. The battery needs to be
changed about every five years.

The lithium battery must be changed by authorized, trained
personnel only. If it is not done properly, there is a risk of
explosion.

Location of the battery (80486DX2 CPU)

The battery is located in a socket on the CPU. To access the battery,
proceed as described in the section entitled “Changing the accumulator
batteries” until you have removed the housing.
