Replacing Batteries

Your unit uses a lithium-polymer battery that has been especially designed
for EXFO. For this reason, you can only replace the main battery with a
battery designed for your MaxTester unit.
You can purchase new batteries from EXFO.
Do not throw batteries into fire or water and do not short-circuit
the battery's electrical contacts. Do not disassemble.
To avoid serious injuries as well as irreparable damage to your
unit, ALWAYS TURN OFF YOUR UNIT (shutdown mode, not
suspend) and DISCONNECT IT FROM THE AC POWER.
Be careful not to drop metal objects such as screws inside the
unit. These could cause a short-circuit leading to a fire or an
explosion.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can cause complete or
intermittent equipment failures.
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap when
handling the unit while it is open. Ensure that the antistatic
strap makes good skin contact and that the end of its wire is
grounded properly.
All the components that you should be handling are identified
in the procedure hereafter. Do not touch any other component
inside the unit either with tools or your fingers.
To avoid damaging the new battery, handle it with care.
Ensure that no foreign object falls inside the unit. This may cause
irreparable damage to your unit.
