FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Installing or removing the battery
cartridge (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the luminaire before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the luminaire and the battery cartridge firmly
when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to hold the luminaire and the battery cartridge
firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result
in damage to the luminaire and battery cartridge and a
personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the luminaire
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the luminaire, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
