4.1.1 Disassembly of eZ430-Chronos Wrist Module

  1. Open screws on back of the wrist module. Use the included Phillips screwdriver.
  2. Remove the metal back of the wrist housing. Be careful not to damage the gasket between the wrist module and the metal back.
  3. Lift out the Chronos module. Use the screwdriver as shown in Figure 4-1.
    4. removing_watch_module.pngFigure 4-1 Remove Chronos Module From Housing
  4. Remove the battery before connecting the module to the emulator. Place the screwdriver tip between the battery and the battery holder (small metal tab) and push the tab away from battery (see Figure 4-2). Detailed instructions are shown in the eZ430-Chronos Disassembly and Assembly video on www.ti.com/chronoswiki.
    5. removing_watch_battery.pngFigure 4-2 Remove Chronos Module Battery

    CAUTION

    To prevent the battery from being charged, always remove the battery from the enclosure before connecting the Chronos module to an emulator.

    WARNING

    Properly dispose of the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of children. If the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately.
  5. Connect the Chronos module to the emulator. The Chronos module and the USB connector must be on the same side of the PCB as shown in Figure 4-3. Be careful when connecting the Chronos module, because its small plastic strips can get stuck at components on the emulator.

NOTE

  • Never disassemble the Chronos module itself.
  • Do not bend the metal strips that are used as contacts for the buttons.
  • Be careful when connecting the Chronos module to the debug interface; its small plastic strips can get stuck at components on the emulator.
