CB-xH Battery Installation and Replacement
The SmaRT console box remote operates between 1.9 to 3.2 VDC powered by two 1.5 V type
“C” cell batteries (included when shipped). Nominal battery life expectation is approximately 70
to 100 operating hours
1
before it becomes necessary to replace the batteries.

Battery Replacement Process
1. Remove the battery cover by unscrewing it in the counter-clockwise direction.
2. Remove the discharged batteries and properly dispose of them according to local
regulations.
3. Place two
“C” cell batteries in the terminal cavity. Observe proper polarity, with
the negative side inserted first and each positive battery terminal facing toward
the cap. The + polarity marking is cut in the interior of the cap as illustrated in
Figure 3.
Replace the battery cover by threading it clockwise onto the cavity. You will feel tension as you
tighten the cap. Hand-tighten the cap to compress the compartment O-ring seal embedded in
the cap. Make sure you do not overtighten the cap, or you will damage the battery compartment.
Note: Change batteries soon after the first low-battery warning to ensure continued reliable
operation. Cervis, Inc. recommends having fresh spare batteries on hand at all times that the
system is in use. The console box remote senses when the voltage is at the low power
threshold
—approximately 2.1 V—at which time, the Amber battery (BATT) LED periodically
flashes to warn you that you must change the batteries soon. The warning flashes while the
unit is in use either until the batteries are replaced or until the voltage drops below 1.9 V; after
which, the unit automatically powers down (auto-shutdown). The unit will not power-up and
operate until the depleted batteries are replaced. Cervis, Inc. recommends replacing them
with two fresh batteries.

At room temperature. Not only does usage affect battery life, but so does operating or storing the battery in
too-high or too-low ambient temperatures. For instance, the longer batteries are exposed to extreme cold or
heat, the more likely battery life will be negatively affected. Factors such as a battery
’s age and initial quality
also may come into play.
Observe proper polarity when
placing batteries into the
battery compartment. Improper
battery placement can cause
excessive heat, battery
explosion, injury to the
operator, and damage to the
remote.
