How do I change the battery in my Arlo Ultra or Arlo Pro 3 camera?
Unlike previous Arlo cameras, the Arlo Ultra and Arlo Pro 3 cameras are made of two parts. The camera and battery are together in one part, and the camera housing acts as a protective shell in a second part. Replacing the batteries on your Arlo Ultra or Pro 3 requires you to remove the camera from the camera housing. This modular design allows you to swap batteries with greater ease.
To change the battery in Arlo Ultra or Pro 3:
- Press the button on the charging port underneath the camera.
A clicking sound occurs, and the camera slides partially out of the camera housing. - Pull the camera until it is entirely removed from the camera housing.
- Remove the battery by pulling on it until it slides out of the camera.
- Align the new battery and insert it into the battery compartment.
Note: The battery only inserts one way.
The camera LED blinks blue.
- Insert the camera back into the camera housing until it clicks into place.
Do this by pushing down on both the left and right sides of the camera.
Warning: When inserting the camera into the camera housing, do not push down on the lens or soft area below the lens.
Your Arlo Ultra or Pro 3 is ready to resume normal activity.
