CHARGING THE BATTERIES
All
SPT 2400 Series
TM
units are equipped with
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries,
which are not memory sensitive and do not require
depletion before recharging. Although batteries come
partially charged from the factory, it is recommended
that they are given a full charge (about 12 hours)
before initial use.
NOTE
Rechargeable batteries typically last about 2-5 years on
average depending on use and care. Keep batteries away
from flammable substances. See
page 20
for more infor-
mation on battery maintenance.

2. Plug the charger into a stan-
dard electrical outlet.

red

charging cables from the receptacles, securely replace
