Slide the lock on the back of the pager away from the symbol.
Slide the battery door to the left to open.
Insert a new battery being careful to align the + and - symbols on the
battery with the same symbols inside the battery compartment.
Replace the door and slide the lock towards the symbol to secure.

experience a short delay as the pager restarts itself after the
new battery has been inserted. The pager will beep once after it
is fully operational.
CAUTION: Be careful to align the + and - symbols on the battery with those
inside the battery compartment. Inserting the battery backwards will cause
the date and time setting in your AccessLink II pager to be lost. All messages
will be preserved, however.
