The battery snaps into a holder on the side of the probe panel housing. It has two snap connectors at its top.
When replacing the battery, its easier to first connect the terminals then push the battery into its holder.
NOTE: Run the unit for at least two hours to charge the new battery before using the unit. The battery charges
only when the unit is powered on.
NOTE: If your battery is in the electrical enclosure above the relay board, order relocation kit M1045981.
This kit includes parts and instructions to relocate the battery to the probe panel to reduce battery ambient
temperature and prolong battery life.
