Battery
The battery status can only be checked when the unit is off. When the PAC is on it will make an alarm when the battery level drops below 2 hours of usage.
When the battery warning has been activated, the PAC can not be started before the battery pack has been replaced.
Battery replace
The PAC is powered by a battery pack that includes three AAA batteries. Use the pin on the new battery pack (or a similar pointy object) to push in the pin on the installed battery pack. Pull out the old battery pack. Open the battery pack and replace the batteries.
WARNING! Batteries must only be changed in an area known to be nonhazardous. Do not mix battery manufacturers or old with new batteries. Interspiro assumes no liability for mechanical, electrical or any other type of battery failure. Cold conditions during storage and use will decrease battery life.
