10. CHANGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
The typical service life of the Detective-EX internal battery is 3–5 years. When the internal
battery no longer retains a charge, it must be replaced with ORTEC Part No. 798780. This is a
straight-forward operation that takes just a few minutes, so the detector does not significantly
warm up during the procedure. When connected to external power such as the docking station,
the new battery will typically reach full charge within 2–4 hours.
For more information, contact your ORTEC representative or our Global Service Center.
To change the battery:
1) Turn off the cooler and the Detective-EX electronics by reversing the instructions in
Section 2.8.2.
2) Figure 96 shows the battery hatch on the side panel. Remove the five (5) Phillips or Torx
®
T10 screws from the hatch (there is no sixth screw under the black rubber “foot”). Gently
pry up one end of the hatch, then slip it from behind the rubber foot and expose the battery.
