LinkIQ Shipping Update for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Replacement

The LinkIQ tester contains a Lithium-Ion Battery.

To comply with air cargo regulations, Fluke Networks requires the battery to be removed from the LinkIQ tester before shipping the device to the Service Center.

Please keep the battery in a safe place as you will need to re-install it when your tester is returned.

LIQ-BATTERY Replacement Battery Instructions

Remove the battery door.

Push and hold the clip-release lever towards the side of the LinkIQ and firmly pull up on the wire clip. Do not pull on the wires.

The battery itself can be lifted out of the pocket to gain access to the connection point to the tester. We recommend gently pressing in on the locking tab using a flathead screwdriver and levering upwards to release the connector at the end of the wires on the battery assembly where it connects to the socket on the tester.

Please note pressing too hard toward the inside wall of the battery compartment of the LinkIQ can damage the battery connector.

Here is a detail of the battery pack. Note that the connector is keyed, so it only fits one way on the connector on the Link IQ.
After your LinkIQ is returned from the Service Center, follow the steps above in reverse order to reconnect the battery pack.
