Figure 2-3.  Battery Indicator

b. If the battery needs to be charged when

operating the table on battery power, the red indica-
tor light on the pendant control will begin to blink.

NOTE

When the red light starts to blink (indi-
cating low power in battery) the table
will operate for approximately 5 con-
tinuous minutes, typically long enough
to use the table for the rest of the day.

NOTE

The charging system operates ONLY
when the table is in AC120V operation
mode.

c. To  recharge the battery, make sure the power

cord is connected, plugged into a 120VAC wall
outlet and the main POWER SWITCH - ON.

NOTE

The table can be operated on 120VAC
power while the battery is being re-
charged.

2-4.  Automatic Shut-Off

a. To  prevent  unnecessary  discharge  of  the

battery, a timer is built into the battery circuit.  This
timer will automatically shut the battery power OFF
after 1½ hours of table inactivity.

b. To turn the table ON again, press the BATT

button on the pendant control, the pendant control
buttons and the red indicator light will illuminate.

NOTE

Turning the Main Power Switch ON will
change the table operation to 120 VAC
power.
