Battery Replacement
All Apollo-X batteries are oriented in a single column. Make sure to only use new batteries.
To replace the batteries:
•
Tip the old batteries out of the enclosure once the end-cap has been unscrewed. Make
sure to dispose of them appropriately
•
Slide the first battery into the column, ensuring that the positive (+) terminal faces the
head of the Apollo-X
•
Add the remaining batteries in the same orientation
•
Restore the endcap to its place on the device, taking care to inspect the O-ring first.
DO NOT MIX BATTERY TYPES.
O-Rings
The Apollo-X7 and X3 models have O-rings at two distinct locations:
O-ring A
is located at the connection between the electronics head and the battery tube. It is
not recommended that users separate the electronics head from the battery tube unless as
part of long-term maintenance and is torqued at the factory to deter opening.
O-ring B
is installed at the connection between the battery enclosure and the end-cap. When
changing batteries the end-cap should always be un-screwed.
Meanwhile, the Apollo-X1
’s
singular O-ring is located at the centre joint.
All user-replaceable Apollo-X O-rings are the same part:
