Installing and removing the battery

To install the battery into the platform:
1. Make sure the battery compartment in the platform is clear of debris or obstructions.
2. Slide the battery into the battery compartment. Ensure the battery is fully seated:
• The battery should snap into place.
• The battery should be flush with the platform.
• When the battery is pulled by the metal ring, the battery should not come out. (Do not rotate the ring
when pulling).
To remove the battery from the platform:
1. Lift the finger ring and rotate it clockwise to the unlocked position.
2. Hold the platform firmly and pull the battery straight out until it fully clears the battery compartment.

Expected battery life

Service life of a properly maintained battery with typical use is five years. The battery capacity decreases with
use over this time. As a preventive measure, ZOLL recommends replacing batteries at least every five years
regardless of the battery's capacity. ZOLL also recommends purchasing batteries at intervals to eliminate the
need to replace all batteries at the same time.
Note. When the battery no longer charges to four bars consistently, it has reached the end of its service life
and should be replaced.
