DO wear protective equipment (face shield, goggles, gloves) when working with or around battery systems.

DO use proper lifting techniques when working with batteries.

DO use insulated tools when working on batteries.

DO remove all rings and metal watchbands before working on batteries.

DON’T service batteries individually. Replace pack as a unit.

DON’T replace a defective pack with an alternate type. Use only the replacement packs provided by ADC.

DON’T lift batteries by their terminals.

DON’T place tools, unconnected cables, or metal objects to rest on top of the batteries.

DON’T use any chemical cleaners (ammonia, bleach, etc.) to clean batteries.

DON’T remove vent caps or add anything to sealed, maintenance-free batteries.

DON’T smoke, cause sparks, or carry an open flame near any battery system.

DON’T approach any energized battery system that shows signs of over-charging or over discharging (severe swelling, cover deformation, vent caps popping off). Disconnect and isolate the battery system from all charging and discharging circuitry before approaching the system.

DON’T circumvent any device installed by the battery or charger manufacturer for the purpose of protecting the battery system. These devices include fuses, circuit breakers, disconnects, switches, etc.

2.7.6.2Battery Installation

Use the following procedure to install the batteries:

Warning: Do not short battery connections together or to ground. The battery pack has high current capacity and can cause burns or serious personal injury when shorted.

Warning: To avoid personal injury or fire damage, do not incinerate or mutilate the battery. Do not short the battery terminals and do not store or operate the battery in an airtight container.

Warning: The batteries contain hazardous materials. Deliver defective batteries to an authorized disposal center for disposal or recycling.

Caution: Before connecting batteries, be sure to turn off the low voltage connect switch located on the rectifier. The LED will be OFF.

1.Open the RAN door.

2.Turn off the battery disconnect switch (labeled DISC) on the low voltage disconnect unit in the RAN chassis. For location, refer to Figure 19 on Page 24. The LVD LED will light up (red) when the batteries are disconnected.

3.Move the gravity latch in the battery drawer to the up position. Refer to Figure 35.
