Battery Removal Instructions

These instructions are for safely removing the battery from the Sound Blaster JAM V2 for disposal or recycling purposes. Ensure the device is powered off before proceeding. Begin by carefully removing the ear pad from the left ear cup. This will expose the screws underneath that hold the speaker frame in place. Use a suitable screwdriver to unfasten these screws. Once the screws are removed, carefully detach the speaker frame from the housing.

With the speaker frame removed, you will gain access to the bottom housing of the headset. Open the bottom housing to reveal the battery compartment. Exercise caution when handling the battery to avoid any potential damage or leakage. Once the battery is accessible, disconnect it from any connectors or adhesives securing it. Follow local guidelines and regulations for the proper disposal or recycling of the battery to minimize environmental impact. These steps ensure a safe and responsible battery removal process.
