D. BATTERY
INSTALLATION
The battery installs at the top of the system, in the battery tray provided as part of the
interior chassis assembly.
It is necessary to remove power from the system if it is currently applied.
REMOVE 120 VAC POWER FROM THE SYSTEM IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY
DONE SO
Open the system front panel and retrieve the red and black battery leads from within
the battery tray. Push the battery lead terminals on to the new battery, BEING
CERTAIN that the red lead connects to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the
black lead connects to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Slide (do not force) the battery completely into the battery tray with the TERMINALS
POINTED INTO THE SYSTEM. If the battery is not completely seated in the battery
tray, the front panel will be obstructed and will not completely close.
A new battery will take no longer than 24 hours to gain a full charge, capable of
powering the system through any power outage up to four hours in length. It should
be noted that the LOW BATTERY indicator is only valid when the 120 vac power is
on. If the LOW BATTERY indicator stays on for more than eight hours, the battery is
in need of replacement.
