| + | **Info provided by Peter OZ1PIF/5Q2M to the Orion reflector, 14Jan17** | ||
| + | To make the switch you need the following tools: | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #10 Torx screwdriver for the 18 black screws on the rear, (don't use | ||
| + | the small angled Torx tool delivered with the Orion, it'll drive you | ||
| + | insane) | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #1 Phillips screwdiver for the four large screws on the side | ||
| + | |||
| + | A #0 Phillips screwdriver for the 14 (I think) screws holding the front | ||
| + | to the main chassis | ||
| + | |||
| + | You'll also need a suitable tool to extract the Snaphat battery, it sits | ||
| + | rather tight and can't be pulled by fingers only. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The trick is to power up the radio once you have taken it apart and | ||
| + | positioned it for the battery switch, once the boot is completed you can | ||
| + | safely pull the old battery and fit the new one, while at it, I switched | ||
| + | the CR2015 battery in the tuner as well, mostly to avoid the risk of age | ||
| + | related leakage at some point. | ||
| + | Now you can turn off the radio again and reassemble everything. | ||
