If the NPB-4000/C has not been used for a long period of time, the battery will
need charging. To charge the battery, connect the NPB-4000/C to an AC outlet
or external DC supply as described in Paragraph 3.3.1 in this service manual or
the Setup and Use section of the operator' s manual.
Note: Storing the NBP-4000/C for a long period without charging the battery
may degrade the battery capacity. A complete battery recharge requires
8 hours. The battery may require a full charge/discharge cycle to restore
normal capacity.
Mallinckrodt recommends that the NPB-4000/C' s sealed, lead-acid batteries be
replaced at 2-year intervals. Refer to Section 6, Disassembly Guide.
Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or
recycling batteries and other device components.
