Storage & Service

Storage

For short term storage (when charging the Battery Module between shifts), see “Operation” section.

CAUTION!

Even after the Power Supply Module is unplugged, its outlets may still deliver current, until it is disconnected from the Battery Module and completely turned OFF (deactivated).

Before storing your Power Supply Module, make sure the Battery Module is fully charged. Then, turn the Power Supply Module completely OFF: unplug the Power Supply Module from the wall outlet, then press and hold the “Power” button for one second (an alarm will beep once briefly after the interval has passed). All LEDs and outlets should be OFF. Disconnect the Power Supply Module from the Battery Module. If you store your Power Supply Module and Battery Module for an extended period of time, recharge the Battery Module once every month. Follow the connection and recharge procedure in the “Connection / Start-Up” section. If you leave your Battery Module discharged for an extended period of time, it will suffer a permanent loss of capacity
