Replacing the Battery in an Active Terminal

If the terminal is active and power is supplied from an external source (wall cube adapter),
you can remove and replace the battery at any time.
If the terminal is running from battery power only, unlatching and/or removing the battery
causes the terminal to shut off power to the LCD display and to any PCMCIA cards that were
powered (i.e., modem or radio cards). The terminal may lose the program state and any data
stored in on-board RAM.
To avoid these problems, use the following procedure to replace the battery in an active
terminal running on battery power:
1. Suspend the PDT 7500 by pressing the Power key.
To ensure that the terminal is fully suspended and not timed out, press the Power key
again, wait for the display to come on, then press the Power key again to fully
suspend the terminal.
2. Press the battery eject latch to unlatch.
3. Lift the battery up to the first detent, then lift it slowly out of the battery
compartment.
4. Replace the battery and relatch.
