Backup Batteries; Operating During Power Outages - Mendota DXV-45 DT3-LX Operating Instructions Manual

Backup Batteries

The life span of the backup batteries depends on the quality of the batteries used and how long the batteries have been
installed in the wall receiver. These batteries are only utilized during power outages. Replace these batteries every heat-
ing season even if you have not experienced any power outages. Batteries drain slowly even when not in use. This is a
normal characteristic of all batteries. To prevent the batteries from bleeding while not in use, you may choose to remove
the backup batteries and install them only when they are needed.

OPERATING DURING POWER OUTAGES

This electronic ignition system utilizes the supplied 110VAC power when it is available for all functions of this system. If
the AC power is interrupted during a power outage, this system utilizes the batteries (installed in the Wall Receiver) as
back-up batteries. During the power outage, the appliance's burners will function. In addition, Flame Height adjustment
and Secondary Burner ON/OFF functions will be available. The Fan and Accent Light, which are wholly dependent on
110VAC power, will not function.
This appliance is designed and tested to be operated during power outages. The overall efficiency of this appli-
ance will be reduced by approximately 5% when the blower function is disabled during the power outage period.
