Changing Batteries

To change batteries, perform the following steps:

  1. Lift the metal tab and open the end cap of the reader.

  2. Hold the reader in an upright position and the battery slides out of the handle.

    Note: You may need to shake the reader slightly.

    WARNING:  The battery used in these devices may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 60 ºC (140 ºF), or incinerate. Replace battery with Cognex DMA-BATTERY-5000 only. Any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

  3. Put the replacement battery into the slot with the metal contact pins pushed in first.

    Tip: A small triangle on one side of the battery is also indicating the correct placement.

  4. Press the metal tab until you hear a click to close the end cap.

WARNING:  Dispose of the used battery promptly. Keep it away from children. Do not disassemble and do not burn it. Use the appropriate separate take-back systems for battery disposal.
