Reserve Battery Considerations
Important! Local ordinances may dictate battery type and installation details.
The batteries require a well-ventilated location within nine feet of the system (the interface cable is
nine feet long).
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions:
Use only 12VDC gelcell batteries.
Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with
conduction materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may overheat and cause burns.
Charge the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product only in
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
Observe proper polarity orientation between the batteries and battery charger.
