Tools/Product Needed:

1. Flat Head Screwdriver. Small screwdriver is suggested.
2. Phillips Screwdriver. Small screwdriver is suggested.
3. Replacement Faceplate. Faceplates can be purchased with different options; single sided, double sided, etc.
4. Replacement Battery. Replacement NiCad Batteries can be purchased separately: 4.8V 300mAh

1. Battery Replacement:

• Before you begin, remove the front cover of the ELRT or ELSM exit sign.
• There are small entries on each side to insert the flat head screwdriver.
• Insert the screwdriver in one of the entry points and pry up to lift up the cover and remove.

2. Locating and Removing the Battery:

• Typically, the NiCad battery is shrink wrapped with yellow wrap with two connectors attached.
• Once identified, disconnect the battery and pull out of its cradle.
• Dispose of the old battery properly according to local regulations for hazardous waste.

3. Replacing the Battery:

• Insert the new battery into the cradle.
• Connect the battery connector.
• Tug the wires in place so that they are not exposed and/or pinched.

4. Placing the front cover back:

• Begin by placing the top side of the cover first on the housing of the ELRT or ELSM exit sign.
• Once the top part of the cover is on the housing, snap the cover to the bottom part of the housing, you should hear a snap; this will ensure the cover has been placed properly.

1. Removing the Faceplate:

• Start removing the 3 small phillip screws on the side without the test button.
• Now with the white end cap exposed, remove it by pulling it out; this is holding the faceplate in place.
• Slide the faceplate out.

2. Inserting the Faceplate:

• Slide the new faceplate into the housing of the exit sign.
• Insert the white end cap back into the housing.
• Re-attach the black end cover.

Please note, the adjustability on the ELRT series exit sign is determined on how to tight the side covers are; the tighter the cover is the firmer the faceplate will be and vice versa.
