2. Check:
Using a digital volt meter, the state of a dis-
charged MF battery can be checked by
measuring open-circuit voltage (the voltage
measured with the positive and negative
terminals being disconnected).
The battery must charged after it is filled
with electrolyte. If this is not done, the life of
the battery will be shortened drastically.
Since the procedure for charging the battery
is not explained in the assembly manual, re-
fer to the service manual for more details.
