DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the appliance
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before adjusting or checking function on
the appliance.
Installing or removing battery
cartridge
CAUTION:
Always switch off the appliance
before installing or removing of the battery
cartridge.
CAUTION:
Hold the appliance and the bat-
tery cartridge firmly when installing or removing
battery cartridge. Failure to hold the appliance and
the battery cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off
your hands and result in damage to the appliance and
battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To install the battery cartridges, align the tongues on the
battery cartridges with the grooves in the housing and
slip them into place. Insert them all the way until they
lock in place with a little click. If you can see the red
indicators as shown in the figure, they are not locked
completely.
To remove the battery cartridges, slide them out of the
battery housing while pressing and holding the buttons
in front of the cartridges.

CAUTION:
Always install the battery cartridge
fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the appliance, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
Do not install the battery cartridge
forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
The cleaner has double battery slots. You can choose
with either double batteries or single battery according
to your needs.
With double batteries
Continuous drive with two batteries allows longer run-
time and more efficient cleaning. When the first battery
is becoming empty, the cleaner automatically switches
a power source, so it continues working with the second
battery.
NOTE: The right battery slot (when facing the front
of the cleaner) has priority over the left battery slot.
The left battery slot will only be identified as a power
source, either when no battery is installed in the right
battery slot or the battery in the right battery slot
becomes empty.
NOTE: You can remove the battery from the right
battery slot and recharge it after the cleaner has
switched its power source from the right battery
slot to the left without ceasing operation. To give
priority back to the right battery slot after installing a
recharged battery, restart the cleaner.
NOTE: When the cleaner switches the power source
from the first battery to the second, it may require a
temporary halt in operations, causing a slight loss
of suction. This is not malfunction so the cleaner
recovers and resumes operations immediately after
the pause.
With a single battery
Only one battery is required as a power source in either
