If damage is evident, replace the battery.
3. Insert and remove the battery several times to check the battery connections and back plate of
the unit.
If either components are damaged, replace the unit.
4. Check the battery contacts for foreign material. Use a gold contact cleaning pen (see Appendix
A: Ordering Replacement Parts & Kits for part number) to clean the contact area on the battery.

CAUTION: Do not use a pencil eraser or similar material to clean the contacts.
If you do, damage can occur to the contacts.
