Step 12

              Battery removal

The battery is securely glued to the base of the projector. If you need to remove it, take great care not to damage it as you do so.
As you apply a continual upwards force the adhesice should very slowly give. Gentle warmth should aid the process but on no account rush it. Insert packing underneed as it lifts to prevent the adhesive taking hold again.
