If the battery door was opened, close the battery door.
Once the above is done, the AMR will return to its normal operating mode.
IMPORTANT:
If you remove the side skins or open the battery door while the
HD-1500 is docked, and is charging its battery, the charging will stop. Once the
removed skin is re-installed or the battery door properly closed, the charging will
not re-engage automatically. The AMR must repeat the normal docking process
for autonomous charging, and re-start charging.

WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK, FIRE RISK, BURN RISK
The interlock switches shall not be defeated or bypassed as this would energize
the AMR, and expose the user to potential electrical hazards.
2.16 Battery Safety
Effective April 1, 2016, IATA regulations (UN 3480, PI 965) require that air-shipped lithium ion
batteries must be transported at a state of charge not exceeding 30%. To avoid total discharge,
fully charge the battery immediately upon receipt. (The battery might arrive fully charged if it
is not shipped by air.)
NOTE:
After receiving the battery, check its state of charge by pressing and hold-
