Hi All,
I've finally got my watch back together, working/beeping properly. I would
like to thank you all for your help in getting my watch together again.
Special thanks to Van Malan for the 3/4 inch socket tip. I used a 1 1/16
socket and the caseback, literally, glided into place. I now can change a
battery with my eyes closed...really.
So, Here are my Step-by Step Instructions for changing the D/L 150S watch
battery.
- Pry off the caseback with a pocket knife. Use the blade, not the tip of
the knife (The pry tab is at the 7:00 position).
- Peel the red tape off the battery.
- Push the Spring-Clip (at the 6:00 position) down. This should make the
retaining tab (in the hole at the 6:00 position)
pop out. Release the pressure from the clip and it should pop up. If not,
you my need to pry the tab on the spring-clip with a small flat screwdriver.
- Slide the old battery out.
- Slide the new battery in. (+ side up)
- Push the spring-clip down until the clip snaps into place (6:00
position).
- Put cellotape over the battery and the spring-clip.
- Ensure that the little speaker spring is still in place at the 7:00
position.
- Make sure the o-ring is still in the groove on the caseback.
- Lay the watch on a solid piece of wood with a piece of foam between the
wood and the watch face.
- Place the caseback on so the pry tab is at 7:00 and the speaker disc is
over the battery.
- Place a 1 1/16 socket on top of the caseback with the open part of the
socket facing the caseback.
- Take the whole mess. (wood, foam, watch, caseback, and socket) and clamp
them together with a "C" clamp.
- The caseback will pop into place.
Voila!!
