Remove Backup Battery
Since the solder pads for the MT710 battery holder are quite small, directly pulling the battery leads can sometimes result in poor contact with the battery holder pads. Therefore, we generally recommend that customers hold down the battery holder with their hand when removing the battery, as this is safer.
- Press down on one corner of the white battery holder (1 in the image below)
- Gently pull the battery cable(red/black) upwards to slowly remove the battery(2 in the image).
