Reassembly
Warning
Install only a BR1632A coin cell battery. There’s a risk of explosion if the battery is installed incorrectly or replaced with an incorrect type of coin cell battery. Dispose of used batteries according to local environmental laws and guidelines.
Note: BR1632A and CR1632A batteries have the same size, shape, and nominal voltage. However, BR1632A batteries have a lower self-discharge rate and wider operating temperature range than CR1632A batteries for longer shelf and service life.
Insert the positive side of the replacement battery (left) facedown into the battery cover (middle). After the battery is installed, the negative side should be visible (right).

Turn over the battery cover with the installed battery and position it on the logic board. Align the screw cutouts in the battery cover with the screw holes in the logic board.
Set the torque value on the 10–34 Ncm adjustable torque driver to 11 Ncm. Then use the adjustable torque driver and 3IP bit to reinstall two 3IP screws (923-12508) into the battery cover.
