    7. Connect the battery, referring to Figure 2-10. The FA2000C runs a brief battery test once a minute to determine if battery leads are connected and runs an extended battery test every 24 hours to determine if battery capacity is low (less than approximately 11.5VDC). If a low battery condition exists the FA2000C's built-in Battery Trouble LED will light and a rapid beeping sound will be heard from its built-in warning buzzer.
