■ Remounting
1) Insert the new battery pack lightly.
2) Push the center of the battery pack and insert it
securely.
3) Tighten the two battery pack mounting screws
to a torque of approximately 0.7 N·m.
4) Replace the terminal box cover.
CAUTION
Do not attach the power supply module to the
battery powered type.
9.4.7 Replacing the Batteries
The batteries in the battery pack can be replaced.
Batteries are not installed when shipped from the
factory. Assemble the battery pack as follows.
WARNING
Be sure to replace the batteries or disassemble
and assemble the battery pack in a safe location.
Doing so in an explosive area could cause an
explosion.
CAUTION
When replacing the batteries, be sure to replace
the two batteries at the same time and do not
use an old and a new battery together.
■ Disassembling
1) Loosen the two battery case mounting screws
(Figure 9.6).
2) Separate the battery case into two parts.
3) Remove the old batteries.
■ Assembling
1) Insert new batteries into the battery case. Be
careful of the orientation of the batteries.
2) Attach the two parts of the battery case to each
other.
3) Tighten the two battery case mounting screws
to a torque of approximately 0.7 N·m.

9.4.8 Handling Batteries
This battery pack uses two primary lithium/
thionyl chloride batteries. Each battery contains
approximately 5 grams of lithium, for a total of 10
grams in each pack. Under normal conditions,
the battery materials are self-contained and are
not reactive as long as the batteries and the pack
integrity are maintained. Care should be taken to
prevent thermal, electrical or mechanical damage.
Protect the electrode of the battery pack to avoid
rapid electrical discharge. Discharged a battery may
lead to fluid leakage and excessive heat. Batteries
should be stored in a clean and dry area. For
maximum battery life, storage temperature should
not exceed 30°C.
WARNING
Handling the battery pack
The following precautions must be observed
in order to safely and effectively use a battery
pack. Improper use may lead to fluid leakage,
excessive heat, ignition, or explosion.
• Never charge it.
• Do not short-circuit it.
• Do not disassemble, transform, or modify it.
• Do not heat it or throw it into a fire.
• Do not soak it in fresh water or seawater.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions for the safe
disposal of batteries.
• Do not incinerate the battery, and do not
expose it to a high temperature of 100°C
or more. This may lead to fluid leakage or
explosion.
• Dispose of the battery according to laws and
regulations.
