Lithium batteries may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abusive
conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
Your transmitter operates with one 3.6V Lithium Battery. Omega Replacement Part Number UWTC-BAT-C.
Never operate your transmitter with a different battery than what is specified in this manual or on the
product data sheet.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except your Transmitter unit. When the battery is used
in devices other than the specified device, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If
the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or
ignite and cause serious injury.
Refer to the Omega technical data sheet or this manual for the temperature ranges over which
the battery can be operated. Use of the battery outside this temperature range may damage the
Transmitter or reduce the performance and life of the battery.
• Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.
• Do not store batteries with other hazardous or combustible materials.
• Do not install the battery backwards so the polarity is reversed.
• Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery to each other with any
metal object (such as wire).
• Do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects.
• Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery or
otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery.
• Do not expose battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• When the battery is discharged, insulate the terminals with adhesive tape or similar materials before
disposal.
• Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using or storing the battery, the battery emits an
unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, leaks or appears abnormal in any other way.
Contact Omega if any of these problems are observed.
• Do not place the battery in microwave ovens.

C. Remove the old power cell.
D. Install your new battery assembly into the housing in
the same position as the old battery was located.
E. Connect the battery assembly connector to the mating
connector on the bottom of the circuit board.
