WARNING
The ETEP contains a lithium battery, which users should not attempt to replace. Battery replacement must
be performed by qualified Black Box personnel. Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect

electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always
follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components.
Qualified service personnel should use the following guidelines to prevent ESD damage:
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal chassis surface.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal chassis.
