is a simple maintenance schedule that will assist you in keeping the system at its peak level of
performance and also minimizing potential premature failures.
BATTERIES
Your system contains sealed maintenance-free batteries. When situated in the proper environment,
with the proper charging and limited cycling, these batteries can last many years . If batteries are to be
stored, they must be charged at least once every three months (@ 25C ambient). If temperature
is higher, they should be charged more often.
Battery replacement should be performed or supervised by personnel familiar with the dangers of
batteries and the required precautions. DO NOT permit untrained or unauthorized personnel to replace
or service batteries.
WARNING: Never attempt to service batteries. Servicing of batteries should be performed or
supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries. When replacing batteries, use the same number and type batteries.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin
and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following
precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The
likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
7. The rechargeable battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check
with the factory for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
