Replacing the battery
Warnings:
• Read and follow the Important Safety Instructions before
servicing the battery. Service the battery under the supervision of
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and their precautions.
• Use only the specified type of battery. See your dealer for
replacement batteries.
• The battery may present a risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose
of battery in a fire because it may explode. Follow all local
