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.
