Replacing the MOB Tag Battery
WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
- Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the four captive screws to remove the back cover. The back cover is secured by four screws.
- Gently lift the white tab to release the battery from the back cover.
- Place the new battery in the back cover, with the positive (+) side down.
- Make sure the rubber gasket in the front cover of the MOB tag is not broken and is fully seated in its groove. The gasket fits in the groove in a specific orientation.
NOTICE If the gasket is not properly and fully seated in the groove, it does not create a seal, which leads to the failure of the MOB tag when it is exposed to water. See the Field Service Manual at garmin.com/manuals/force_current_trolling_motor for information on purchasing a replacement gasket. After you replace the battery, you may need to pair the MOB tag again.
