Inserting the
Batteries
Each battery is fitted with four recesses, two on each side
(see [8]).
These allow you to slide the battery into tabs located at the
bottom of the compartment (see [9]).
Once the battery is fully inserted, a stop mechanism ([10]) is
released by the battery to secure the electrical connection to
the receiver (this mechanism prevents the battery from
moving longitudinally).
The combination of these two mechanisms (slide + stop) will guarantee a
secure electrical connection to the receiver in all circumstances.
The two battery compartments are accessible from
underneath the receiver. Follow this procedure to insert a
battery into its compartment:
1. Turn the receiver upside down.
2. With a finger, push the snap-in hook inward to unlock the
trapdoor (see [11]), then pull it open (see [12]).
3. Give the right orientation to the battery, prop it against the
right inner side of the compartment (see [13]), then push
the battery in so that it fits into the four tabs.
4. Push the battery fully to the left (see [14]). This releases
the stop mechanism underneath the battery.
5. Close the trapdoor: It is good practice to use your two
thumbs pushing thoroughly from the two corners of the
trapdoor. By doing this, you will lock the snap-in hook
properly and you will make the battery compartment fully
waterproof.
6. Put back the receiver the right way up.
When later the receiver is placed on top of a pole, you will be able to safely
remove/replace a discharged battery (it won’t drop when you open the
compartment) while the receiver continues to operate normally, tacking
satellites, being powered from the other battery.
NOTE: The batteries will be used one after the other. The
receiver will determine which battery should be used first.
