Replacing the Descent T1 Transceiver Battery
You should purchase a replacement battery only from a high-quality manufacturer and a reputable vendor. Using a low-quality battery could result in poor product performance and reduced battery life, especially at low temperatures. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries may have a higher voltage specification and can cause permanent damage to the device.
To replace the battery, you need a coin or flat screwdriver, a new 3 V CR123A lithium battery, and waterproof silicone grease. You may also need a replacement battery cap accessory.
The transceiver is powered by a 3 V CR123A lithium battery. A battery is pre-installed at the factory. You must carefully follow the battery replacement instructions to preserve the transceiver's waterproofing.
