MVP-5200i Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom - Instruction Manual
Battery Replacement
The touch panel's battery is intended to last the life of the device, but in cases where the battery has reached its effective end of life,
it may be replaced with the MVP-BP-5X Battery Pack Kit (
FG5966-01BAT
).
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!
To minimize the risk of damage to the battery during installation, all replacement batteries come in a protective metal cover. This
cover cannot be removed from the battery.
Replacing the Battery
Before replacing the battery, download and install the latest firmware for the MVP-5200i. This firmware is available at
www.amx.com.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged. Do NOT discharge the battery before
installing the latest MVP-5200i firmware (v2.66.17 or later), available at www.amx.com.
To remove an old battery and replace it:
1.
Remove the battery from its packaging, remove the protective film from the battery, and inspect it for any damage or
distortion. If the battery shows evidence of damage, contact AMX for replacement and proper disposal information.
2.
Place the device face-down on a surface that will not scratch the unit and remove the five screws from the back of the device
(FIG. 83).
Two of the screws are at the upper corners of the device, underneath rubber feet that also act as screw covers. Remove the
rubber feet to access the screws.
Lift up the kickstand and remove the label to reach the remaining three screws.
NOTE:
The three bottom screws are shorter than the top two screws. The screws must be re-assembled in their original location
or the device can be damaged during reassembly.
3.
Discharge all static electricity that may have built up on your body, either by using a static discharge strap or by touching a
nearby piece of metal.
4.
Carefully remove the back of the device and detach the battery lead at the battery connector (FIG. 84). This will allow the back
cover to be detached from the device.
