2.3 Remove the Batteries
Refer to wiring drawing in Figure 5 (page 4), in Figure
6 at right and in Table 1.
Note: If wires are taped to the batteries, remove and
discard tape while removing the batteries.
Disconnect the black Batt - (negative) wire (run-1.
ning from the PC board) from the battery 2 nega-
tive terminal (black tab).
Disconnect the fuse holder’s negative wire from 2.
the battery 1 negative terminal (black tab).
The batteries are held in place by hook-and-3.
loop fastening strips. Carefully lift battery #2 to
separate it from the hooked fastening strip in the
POWERPac housing.
Disconnect the fuse holder’s positive wire from the 4.
battery 2 positive terminal (red tab). Retain the fuse
holder wire for reassembly.
Disconnect the red Batt + (positive) wire (running 5.
from the PC board) from the battery 1 positive
terminal (red tab).
Remove battery 1 from the POWERPac.6.
Note: Dispose of the old batteries according to local
laws and regulations regarding recycling or disposal
of used batteries. See Recycle the Batteries, page 1.

WARNING
Short-circuiting a battery can cause injury and
battery damage. Do not allow any wire or tool
to connect the positive and negative terminals
on a battery. This could damage the battery or
cause a spark.
2.4 Replace the Hooked
Fastening Strips (If Needed)
Verify that each new battery has a looped fastening strip at-
tached, and that the case has two hooked strips attached.
1. Inspect the hooked strips in the case. If they are clean,
undamaged, and held the old batteries in place securely,
skip the rest of this section. If the strips appear to be
unsuitable in any way, go to step 2.
Note: Mark the locations of the old strips. It is important to
attach the replacement strips at these locations to ensure good
contact with the looped strips on the batteries.
2. As needed, remove one or both of the old fastening strips
from the case.
3. If needed, dab a small amount of alcohol onto a cloth (or
use a disposable towelette or cleaning wipe) to clean the
area where the old strips were attached. Do not use water
and do not pour any liquid into the POWERPac. Do
NOT get PC Board wet. Dry the area thoroughly before
attaching the new fastening strips.
4. Remove the paper backing from the new hooked strip(s)
and press the strip(s) rmly to the lower housing for three
to ve seconds for good adhesion.
Important
Water or any other liquid in the POWERPac can
damage the electrical components. Only use a
moist cloth or sponge to clean the case. DO NOT
clean electrical components.
