Chapter 2: Preparation before using the PD204

Mounting the battery

The ENDURA battery is mounted to the bottom of the PD204.

There are two mounts for mounting the batteries. If you use the non-PowerLink type batteries, you can mount one battery for each base. If you use the PowerLink type batteries, you can mount up to four batteries (two batteries for each base).

<Note>: When you mount or replace the battery, make sure that the unit power is off. By sudden power failure, memory data may be reset or the unit may be damaged be- cause the unit handles data while the power is on. However, note that, if you set two batteries, you can replace a battery which is not currently active.

<Note>: If you use the IDX ENDURA battery, read the operation manual supplied with the battery and handle it correctly. The PD204 does not provide battery charge func- tion. Charge the IDX ENDURA battery correctly according to the battery manual.
