3. MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
The only maintenance needed for PedAlert is to keep the unit
clean and occasionally to change the battery.
3.1. Keeping PedAlert Clean
Wipe the cast boot and control box with a damp cloth, use a
mild soap if necessary.
3.2. Changing the Battery
1. Remove control box from boot and disconnect sensor
cable.
2. Use your thumb to press inward and slide the cover from
the control box case (see Figure 6).
3. Gently remove the old battery and replace it with a new
9V battery.
4. Be sure that the battery snaps firmly into place. Replace
the cover on the control box case by sliding it closed, and
snapping into position when finished. Care must be taken
to route the wires so they are not pinched when closing
cover.

is easily replaceable.
