SkyBitz GLS 400/410 Mobile Terminal Battery Replacement Procedure Version 1.3

12 March 2010

Introduction

This is a procedure for removing and replacing the batteries installed in the GLS 400 or 410 (REV M or P) SkyBitz

Mobile Terminal (MT).

The installation guide applies to REV M and P type mobile terminals ONLY. The type of mobile terminal may be

identified by the serial number. The serial number is located on the bottom of the unit and on the end that has the

I/O connector.

The fourth letter from the left indicates the REV type. For example the serial number on a SkyBitz REV M mobile

terminal will look like “MTXM3GDLxyyyzzzzz”, where “xyyzzzzz” are numbers. The “M” after “MTX” indicates the

mobile terminal REV type. The serial number on a SkyBitz REV P mobile terminal will look like

“MTXP3GDLxyyyzzzzz”, where “xyyyzzzzz” are numbers. The “P” after “MTX” indicates the mobile terminal REV

type.

• This procedure can be performed while the MT is installed or uninstalled.

•

• Installation time is approximately fifteen minutes.

•

• A #10 TORX (T10) wrench or screwdriver is required to remove the battery tray assembly.

•

• The battery door screws have a torque specification of 2.5 inch pounds (+/- .1 in lbs).

•

• You must use a T10 TORX torque driver or wrench to tighten the battery door screws to the

specified torque setting. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
