5. Now you can remove the batteries by lifting them out by the plus side, which has
the indent.
6. When inserting the new batteries, make sure that the buttons on the top, which
includes an indent (plus pole), point away from the springs contained in the battery
compartments.
7. You lock the covers again by inserting their pins into the appropriate recesses on
the housing and then pushing down lightly on the catches. The catches snap
audibly into place.
8. You may now return the Connect Braille to it
’s carrying case and close the Velcro
fasteners.
Important Notes:
1. Please use only NiMH batteries, as the Connect Braille's recharging circuitry has
been designed for that type of battery only.
2. If you replace the rechargeable batteries with standard non-rechargeable batteries,
you must make sure that you remove these before connecting the Connect Braille
to a power outlet or via USB to your PC, because the recharging circuitry cannot
discern the difference. The batteries would therefore be overcharged (danger of
explosion), which may cause damage to your Connect Braille, and in certain cases
may be hazardous to your health.
3. We do not recommend replacing only some of the batteries. If batteries are only
replaced partially, the new cells will be used up more rapidly and cells with a lower
capacity may be damaged. The same applies if you are using non-rechargeable
batteries.
4. Please refer to the applying environmental law for disposal of batteries.
