turned on, when a battery is inserted, and
periodically while it is in standby mode. • Unplug the pads connector from

and check the results of the
battery insertion self-test. If it fails,

press the On/Off button to stop the
test and put the FR2+ into standby
mode. The FR2+ is then ready for
use.
