PRYME PRYMEBLU BT-PTT-Z mini User manual

Rotate Housing
to Access Battery
The BT-PTT-Z uses one replaceable CR2032 coin cell type battery. The first time you use your
BT-PTT-Z you will need to install a new battery. You will also need to replace the battery at the end
of its lifetime. A single battery can provide up to one full year of operating time. However,
operating time can vary depending on usage cycle and the age and condition of the battery.
To change the battery:
1. Separate the two halves of the BT-PTT-Z housing by securely holding the back cover and rotating the
front cover in a counter-clockwise direction until the two halves come apart.
2. Locate the battery holder inside of the device. Remove the old battery from the battery holder if
one is installed. A ball point pen can be used to push the battery out of the holder if needed.
3. Insert a new CR2032 3-volt coin cell battery into the battery holder, observing proper polarity.
The positive side of the battery (marked with a “+” sign) should face away from the circuit board.
4. Reinsert the two halves of the transmitter housing and rotate the top cover clockwise to tighten.
