# PLANIX R1 FAQ & Misc Info

### Can I h**ot Swap the R1 Battery** ?

While the PLANIX R1 features a quick-release battery, it cannot be hot-swapped (i.e., replaced while the system is powered on). To change the R1 battery, you must first power down the system. After replacing the battery, power the system back on.

### Can I use the Theta X on the R1 independently?

For the PLANIX Pro, the Theta Z1 could be detached from the system unit and used as a standalone camera with the Ricoh Theta app. However, with the PLANIX R1, the Theta X is fully integrated into the system. It is neither user-replaceable nor removable. If a replacement is needed, please send the system to us for servicing by opening a [support ticket](https://support.youriguide.com/support/tickets/new).
