Replacing the Interwrite Pad Battery Pack
(cont.)
1 Turn your Interwrite Pad over and use a small Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw holding the Battery Cover in place.
2 Push down on the Thumb Grip and slide the Battery Cover away from the
screw hole.
3 Lift the Battery Pack out of the compartment, being careful not to pull
too hard on the battery lead wires to the Connector.
4 Locate the white Battery Connector plugged into the Connector
Receptacle. The Connector has a small bump that snaps into the hole on
the side of the Connector Receptacle to hold the Connector in place. On
some Connectors this is a tight fit, while on others it is not.
5
First, try using the Connector wires to gently pull the Connector straight
up and out of the Receptacle. If you feel any resistance, stop this action.
6 If there is resistance, it's probable the bump needs to be released from
the hole in the Receptacle. Use a fingernail, a thin-bladed screwdriver, a
letter opener—any instrument that can be used to slightly bow out the
wall of the Connector Receptacle, so the Connector bump is clear of the
hole. If you can, grasp the edges of the Battery Connector with your
fingers. Otherwise, use the wires to gently pull the Battery Connector
straight up and out of the Receptacle.
7 Discard the old Battery Pack, following the proper disposal procedures.
8 With the small bump on the new Battery Pack Connector facing the top
of the Pad, plug the Connector into the Receptacle, gently pushing down
until you feel it snap into place.
9
Feed the lead wires into the open space under the screw hole and set the
Battery Pack into the compartment with the foam side facing up.
10 Fit the Battery Cover into the grooves and slide it back into place.
11 Replace the screw.
