5.2 Replacing the battery
The battery can be recharged hundreds of times, but
eventually the time between charges will shorten and if this
happens, a replacement battery should be fitted.
Before you replace the battery make sure the unit is switched
off.
- Remove the counter from the black tube and loosen the
screw in the middle of the counter back.
- Pull out the battery retainer clip from the bottom of the
counter.
- Remove the battery and gently remove the battery snap. To
avoid damage to the battery snap it is recommended you
use a screwdriver to flip off the battery clip as damage can
occur to the internal connections if grasped by fingers and
pulled off.
- Replace the battery with the same type and specification as
the one that came with your counter.
- Press the battery snap firmly onto the new battery and insert
back into the battery retainer.
- Replace the battery retainer into the counter taking care not
to catch the wires in the side wall of the counter.
- Tighten the central screw on the back and refit to the black
tube.
- Charge the battery for at least 16 hours before initial
use. Make sure the counter is re-calibrated before you
commence your next walk.
Alternatively, you can send the Platemeter us and we’ll supply
and replace the battery. Please contact us beforehand so we
can give you an estimated cost and instructions for packaging
the unit.
