Replacing Components
The three most common actions required to restore CLARION to proper
functioning are: (1) replacing the battery, (2) replacing the cable, and (3)
replacing the Headpiece, as described below.
1. Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery
CLARION is powered by a custom-designed, rechargeable Lithium Ion
Battery. An alternative battery pack, containing three AA alkaline
batteries, can be used with the Processor.
Depending on the amount of power consumed using individual
programs, the Lithium Ion Battery provides an average of 10-12 hours of
operation. As described in Checking the System, Step 1, a depleted or
nearly depleted battery should be replaced with a fully-recharged battery
by taking the following actions.
To replace the Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery:
!" Turn the Program Switch to the off position.
!" Remove the used battery by gently pressing and raising the release
lever on the left side of the Processor, while at the same time sliding
the battery case toward the lever. Return the used battery to the
charger, according to the instructions in Section III of this User
Guide.
!" Align the slide track on the top of the replacement battery case with
the slide track on the underside of the Processor.
!" Guide the battery case onto the Processor slide track and slide the
case until it engages into place on the Processor. Do not force the
battery case. It is designed to be inserted in only one direction.
Forcing the case may jam or damage the slide mechanism.
!" Perform the system check sequence, Steps 1-3, as described at the
beginning of this section.
