This chapter describes how to
¨ charge the batteries
¨ change the fuses.
The battery charger for the MWS is a fully automatic,
maintenance-free charger.
To charge the battery, plug the MWS AC power cord into a grounded outlet.
Charge the battery:
¨ before using the MWS for the first time (charge it for 5
hours)
¨ when the MWS beeps (see “Battery Life” for indications of
low battery conditions)
¨ when the MWS is not in use.
When the MWS is not in use, always leave the battery charger plugged in
and charging. The battery charger is “intelligent;” it monitors the battery
condition and does not overcharge the lead acid battery. Battery life is
extended by frequent charging.
Recycle batteries in accordance with local State, RBRC guidelines, and the
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Only qualified service personnel may install or replace the 12-volt
sealed lead-acid non-venting battery. When replacing a battery,
you must use the same type of battery from the same
manufacturer (as the ones provided with the MWS). On 24VDC
models, BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to
maintain capacity match.
