A.5 Service Information
A.5.1 Removing/Fitting the Portable Radio Module Battery
Tools Required
Release Key 3351827
To remove the battery, insert the pins of the release key into the two holes in the base of the radio module. Press the key into
the module until the locking mechanism is released and the battery retracts (approximately 5 mm). Remove the key and then
slide and remove the battery.
Before fitting the charged battery, check that the O-ring seal of the boss is in position and undamaged and that the dovetail
guide of the battery and the radio module are clean and undamaged.
Align the battery in the dovetail guide and slide the battery pack along the guide until an audible click is heard. The green LED
of the IR Link Unit on the rear of the Bodyguard
®
momentarily illuminates indicating satisfactory contact. Correct retention is
indicated when the red indicators are visible in the two release keyholes in the base of the radio module. To further ensure
positive retention, grip the battery and attempt to remove – there must be no movement.
NOTICE
An intermittent short flash off the red LED indicates a low charge condition
of the Portable Radio Unit battery. Fit a fully charged battery.
NOTICE
If the running man icon reappears, press the RH button again. The display will change to the normal operating screen.
