Precautions
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated
area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space
along the sides, top and back of the equipment.

then turn on your system.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains,
etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be
placed on the apparatus.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery
