Section 4  Inserting the Battery into the Helios Gene Gun

14  |  Helios Gene Gun System 

Section 4 

 

Inserting the Battery into the Helios Gene Gun

The electrical system of the Helios Gene Gun is powered by a 9 volt battery. Under normal use, this should 
provide sufficient energy for 1,000 shots. The battery compartment is in the base of the handle near the 
attachment fitting for the helium hose (Figure 9).

To insert the battery, first remove the battery cover by sliding it toward the front of the gene gun. Slide 
the battery into the opening as shown in Figure 9. The battery must be oriented with the positive terminal 
toward the front of the gene gun, as indicated by the "+" symbol inside the battery compartment. (

Note:

 

If the battery is inserted correctly, a tone will be audible for ~5 sec and the battery status LED will light; if 
the battery is inserted backward, the electrical system will not operate and the Helios Gene Gun will be 
nonoperational.) The battery is held in place by the battery cover.

Fig. 9. Battery compartment. 

The battery compartment is located at the base of the handle of the gene gun next to the connection for the  

helium hose and is protected by a battery cover that slides forward. The battery is inserted with the positive terminal (the smaller of the two terminals) 
facing forward.
