Replacing the WS501 Battery

The device supports Hot Swap mode, allowing you to replace the battery without powering off the device. When you remove the device from the shell, the display turns off and the device enters a low power state (indicated by a single red flash of the scan/custom LED). Replace the battery within two minutes to preserve memory persistence.
