charge the internal battery.
External Battery Pack (Optional)
The SA-BATPAK is an optional external battery pack. This will oper-
ate the unit for approximately 1 to 2 hours. The liquid acid gel battery
will fully charge, from a full discharge, in about 6-8 hours.
WARNING
When using the AC adapter, connect the AC plug
only to a properly grounded receptacle. Serious
injury or death can occur if not properly grounded.
WARNING
The SA-BATPAK is shipped charged. Be careful
when removing the safety cap, 12VDC @ 2.0 AH/20
hour rate can be present inside the receptacle. Do
not touch the inside of the receptacle. The possibility
of an electric shock exists.
CAUTION
Long-term storage of the external battery pack can
affect battery performance and reduce battery life.
Do not store the external battery pack for long
periods of time without proper storage maintenance
(refer to External Battery Pack (Optional), Long-
term Storage Maintenance, page 125). Failure to
comply may result in reduced battery charge and
shortened battery life.
