Steps for Battery Replacement
Access the Device Interior
Turn the Asset 432 upside down to reveal the four waterproof plugs.
Carefully remove these plugs using the pointed tool.
Unscrew the four screws beneath the plugs with a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
Open the Device
Find the tab on the bottom right of the device's casing.
Use the flat prying tool to gently lift the tab and separate the front plate, exposing the interior and printed circuit board (PCB).
Power Off the Device
Switch the device off by flipping the on/off switch inside.
Remove the PCB
Unscrew the four screws holding the printed circuit board (PCB) in place with a Phillips #0 or #00 screwdriver.
Carefully lift the PCB out, taking care not to damage the connected wires.
Remove the Battery
Detach the battery from the board.
If stuck with adhesive, gently pry the battery off.
Install the New Battery
Place the new battery in the same location, pressing into the adhesive.
Reattach the battery wires to the PCB securely.
Re-screw the PCB into place and ensure the device is sealed with the screws and waterproof plugs.
Reset the Battery Percentage
Log into your tracking platform and issue the "Reset Battery Indicator to 100%" command.
Allow up to 24 hours for the reset to take effect.
Keep the device powered on and in an area with strong signal reception.
