THE BATTERY
The MP2500 is designed for use with a alkaline
batteries or a HUSKY rechargeable battery pack. If
you are using rechargeable batteries, use only the
HUSKY MP2500 battery pack.
Non-rechargeable alkaline batteries are not
generally recommended for use with an MP2500
with peripheral loads. Alkaline batteries are not
suited to low temperature operation.
With a full charge, the MP2500 battery is designed
to last more than a working shift. However, if power
does run low, a warning BATTERY LEVEL LOW will
be displayed. (After a further period of use, your
MP2500 will turn itself off and will not turn on again.)
You should do one of the following:
Return the MP2500 to your base or office
Or recharge the battery (see Charging the
battery)
Or fit a fully charged battery pack (see Replacing
the battery)
Or fit three new AA size alkaline batteries.
