Tips to successfully replace the battery in your Gateway

*Important note: Purchase a replacement battery from BarnTools to ensure that you are putting in the correct type of battery in your gateway

 

Step 1: Turn off the Gateway and unplug it

Step 2: Remove the face plate of the Gateway by removing the 6 phillips head screws on the face of the Gateway. You should now see the circuit board of the Gateway.

Step 3: Locate the battery in the top-center portion of the Gateway and remove the battery. Push the battery towards the negative end of the battery (side with spring).

 

Step 4: Insert the new battery

Ensure the negative end of the battery is on the spring side of the holder.

The battery has a positive end with a "+" and negative end with a "-". The positive side will have a button on it as shown on the right side of the battery pictured below.

    Step 5: Screw the face plate back on the Gateway and Power it On.

    Done!
