BATT (battery) Lamp

 

 

 

 

 

 

This lamp starts blinking a few minutes before the

 

 

 

 

 

 

battery charge starts to run out, and stays illuminated

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the battery is completely flat. The battery should be

 

 

 

 

 

 

replaced before it is nearly flat, so that operation will not

 

 

 

 

 

 

be interrupted.
