Battery Replacement Steps
Remove the device: Detach the Spot from its mounting location by unfastening or removing it from the magnetic mounting bracket (if applicable).
Unscrew the back panel: Use the TX10 screwdriver to remove the four M4 screws from the back panel.
Open the housing: Separate the front and back panels. Some force might be required - be careful not to damage any components.
Disconnect the old battery: Carefully remove the old battery and disconnect it from the JST connector (location displayed in the figure below) by gently pulling up on the wires.
Dispose of the old battery: Follow local, state, or provincial laws and regulations for battery disposal.
Install the new battery: Install the new Trackunit battery pack (P/N: 220-00004) by hand, inserting the JST connector on the new battery pack in the JST slot on the Spot within the enclosure.
Check LED confirmation: The LEDs flash green and red for approximately two seconds to confirm the battery has been installed correctly.
Reassemble the device: Align the back panel carefully, covering the battery, making sure no wires are pinched or pierced.
Secure the screws: Insert four M4 screws into the screw holes on the back panel and tighten them using the TX10 (0.6 Nm) screwdriver. Avoid over-tightening.
