Frequently asked questions

What warning is given about standby batteries in the manual?

Standby batteries may contain nickel and cadmium; they must not be disassembled, recharged, exposed to fire or water, and must be disposed of according to local regulations.

How should error codes be used to diagnose failures?

Read the error codes displayed on the screen and start diagnosis with the first code; the first code often indicates the root cause and may also generate false codes.
