Replacing battery
Although you may assume that CYPRES' battery is similar to other batteries you may
see for sale (same voltage, same size), you must not use them. They are stick-type
batteries; batteries of coiled type must be used in CYPRES instead. Stick-type batteries
have a lower energy density, different temperature ranges, discharging characteristics,
etc.
CYPRES has been designed to be small so it takes up as little space as possible in
your reserve container. Consequently, its wiring attachments and closure elements
are small and delicate. That is why replacing its battery requires a gentle hand, a calm
mind, a bit of skill, and some time. It is not a procedure to be rushed through.
! Do not open the battery compartment without having a good reason !
Battery replacement starts with removal of the battery compartment cover. This is
accomplished by loosening the two slotted screws embedded in recesses on top of
the unit. Use the screwdriver supplied with CYPRES.
Each screw will be loosened with approx. four anticlockwise turns. After this, the
cover can be removed by lifting it straight upward. Both screws remain in their guide
holes in the cover plate.
For information when to replace the battery, refer to page 7.
Note that you yourself or your rigger can change the battery, the CYPRES
