Using the data set from T-61 to T+242 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210403A (trigger #1040345)
(K.Page, et al., GCN Circ. 29748).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 2.813, -33.024 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  00h 11m 15.2s 
   Dec(J2000) = -33d 01' 27.2" 
with an uncertainty of 2.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 80%.
 
The lightcurve has multiple peaks starting at T-40 sec and ending at T+140 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 168.3 +- 9.2 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-41.51 to T+137.18 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.93 +- 0.52, 
and Epeak of 37.4 +- 4.8 keV (chi squared 52.21 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.7 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+0.18 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
1.1 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 2.13 +- 0.10 (chi squared 73.02 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
