Note the three black O-rings and be careful not to lose them! The smaller
ones may still be in the outer cap when you remove the inner cap. Remove
them and put them aside. [Note: if you lose a small O-ring or if they are
broken, you can simply use a small dab of silicone caulking on the screw post
when you reassemble the cap.]
If the battery
simply falls out, the
metal terminals on
either end of the
battery
compartment may
need to be bent
slightly so that they
make a good
connection with
the new battery.
Use a knife, small
screwdriver or
needle-nose pliers
to bend the
terminals in.
Insert the
new
rechargeable
AA battery,
again being
careful not
to disturb
the wires.
[Be sure the
+ and – ends
are in the
correct
position]
Replace the circuit board (don’t pinch the wires!) and
the reflector, lining up the screw holes.
Replace the two screws through the reflector and
circuit board, into the cap.
Note that there is only one correct way to replace the
inner cap to the outer one: there is a small stud on the
inner cap that inserts into a hole in the outer cap.
Replace the inner cap, being sure that all three O-
rings (one large and two small) remain in place.
Push the inner cap into the outer cap so that the small
O-rings remain in place and the screw holes line up.
