Install the Battery
The Vantage Vue ISS SIM board stores energy from the solar panel for power at night. A 3-
volt lithium battery provides a backup power source. The battery compartment is located on
the underside of the ISS base. The compartment cover is included in the hardware packet.
To install the ISS backup battery.
1. Insert the 3-volt lithium battery into
the ISS battery compartment, being
sure to match the “+” sign on the
battery with the “+” sign embossed
on the inside of the battery
compartment.
2. Ensure that the battery is properly in
place, install the battery compart-
ment cover, and tighten the thumb-
screw.
To verify power, wait 30 seconds
then push and release the white transmitter ID pushbutton next to the battery compartment.
The green transmitter ID LED next to the battery compartment will illuminate when you
press the pushbutton.
Note:
Press the pushbutton once and release it. Do not press it multiple times or hold it down.
