Removing & Replacing Recon PDA battery
1. Introduction
This article details the steps to take if your Inclinometers Recon PDA will not switch on.
2. Charge the battery
Firstly, ensure the battery has been charged using a supplied recon PDA charger. A full
charge will take approximately 12 hours. After this, if the PDA will not switch on continue to the next step.
3. Replace the battery
Rest the PDA gently on its face. The PDA’s stylus or a flat headed screwdriver will be required (See Figure 1.).

Using the stylus, turn the arrowed latches counter-clockwise until the arrows point towards the bottom of the battery and the I/O ports (See Figure 2.).
Figure 2. Turn the latches
With both latches pointing downwards, use your thumbs to push and slide the battery away from the unit (See Figure 3.).
