Changing Batteries

To change batteries, perform the following steps:

  1. Twist the reader’s end cap, and take it off. 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.
