Replacing the battery

You shouldn't need to remove the battery, unless it is faulty. Here are instructions for replacing a faulty battery.

To remove the battery

  1. Switch off the XO.
  2. Close the lid, and turn the XO over, so that the XO logo appears on the underside.
  3. Slide the right-hand side catch further to the right. It will remain in place.

To replace the battery

  2. Drop the battery into place.
  3. Slide the left-hand side catch to the left, and press the battery gently into place.
