9.8 Connecting the Standby Batteries
The two standby batteries must be connected in series with the battery link provided. Then,
observing correct polarity ( red lead to the positive of one battery and black lead to the negative of
the other battery ), carefully push the spade connectors of the battery leads onto the relevant battery
terminals ( illustrated in figure 9.5 ).
Please note that at this point the Digilite® DL500 will not power up until the mains supply is
connected.
