Additional Information
You may replace the battery (BR2032 3V Battery) yourself, though National Instruments will not be responsible for any damage to the controller. Before you replace the battery, make sure you inspect the controller to make sure that the metal clip is making contact with the battery, the battery edges are not corroded, and that there is no physical damage to the controller.
To replace the battery yourself, follow the instructions below:
- Place the controller on a table, hard drive side down.
- With your finger nail, gently pull back the negative terminal pressing against the flat side of the battery.
- Using needle nose pliers remove the battery. The battery will not lift straight up. You have to tilt it slightly towards the processor then lift it out.
- Using needle nose pliers, re-install the battery by pulling the negative terminal (flat side) out enough to slide the battery in at a diagonal. If you accidentally reinstall the battery backwards it will not harm the CMOS.
