Firstly your KA018 case is shipped with your batteries disconnected.
Before operation using the batteries you must first re-connect them. To do
this simply lift out the foam using the handles provided and plug the bat-
tery connectors into the mating connectors in the cable cut out. The connec-
tors are keyed so you cannot plug them the wrong way around. (Note that
shipped batteries may require charging before use)
Secondly, the Battery Isolation Switch is OFF when shipped, this will need
switching ON before the batteries can be used as a power source. Please see
page 4 for further information.
