2.2 BATTERY HANDLING
Battery Inspection
Before installation, inspect the batteries for any cracks,
dents, leakage, or bulging. Never install a defective battery
in the LWTS.
Battery Installation
CAUTION
Do not ship or store the LWTS with batteries
installed.
NOTE
The LWTS may be powered by as few as two AA
batteries. If installing only two batteries, they must
occupy slots in the battery pack that are diagonally
across from each other. Operating the LWTS with
less than four batteries will result in significantly
reduced battery run time.
1. Turn the thumbscrew located in the center of the battery
door counterclockwise until the battery pack releases.
2. Lift the battery pack out of the battery compartment.
3. Install four AA batteries with the positive terminals facing
the battery door as shown in Figure 2-1. Proper battery
orientation is clearly marked on the LWTS and battery
pack housings.
