Pulling the battery out
5 Carefully slide the battery release latch to the left and use
the finger slot near the corner of the battery module to
gently pull the battery module free.
WARNING: If the battery is leaking or its case is cracked, put on
protective gloves to handle it, and discard it immediately following
the advice in “Disposing of used batteries safely” on page 90.
Inserting a charged battery
1 Wipe the battery terminals of the charged battery with a
clean cloth to ensure a good connection.
2 Holding the battery at an angle, insert the end facing you
into the front of the battery slot.
Make sure that end fits evenly with the surrounding
casing.
3 If you have inserted that end correctly, you will be able to
gently press the rear end into place until the battery latch
snaps shut. If that end resists, don’t force it. Simply start
over.
