Battery Replacement

5.1

Standard, Switching, and Password Transponders

It is possible to damage the transponder if battery replacement is handled incorrectly. This
procedure should only be attempted by a trained electronic technician. If it takes you longer
than two minutes or if the battery terminals are shorted, the data in the transponder will be lost
and the transponder must be reprogrammed.
Before opening the transponder make sure that you are electrically grounded with an
approved anti-static heel or wrist strap. Electrostatic discharge can destroy or shorten the life
of a transponder. The SimonsVoss Technologies, Inc warranty does not cover damage
caused by improper battery replacement.
To replace the batteries, gently pry the case apart by inserting a fingernail or knife blade into
the seam at the "equator" of the device. When the case has been opened you will see the
battery held to the board by a clip.
Orient the device so that the keychain hole is at the top and the antenna is to your right.
Remove the clip by gently pressing on the bottom of the clip while sliding it to the left. The
bottom of the clip should then be able to be pulled up and away from the board, allowing the
battery to be removed.
When inserting the new battery, make sure that the polarity is correct with the positive terminal
up (the large side with the writing is the positive terminal).
Replace the retaining clip being sure to press gently and slide it to the right to re-engage the
tension on the battery.
Replace the cover on the transponder. Read the transponder to verify that the data is still
intact.
