teries, or optimal lithium batteries.

bATTERY INSTAllATION
Replacement rechargeable batteries are available from OTS or your local OTS
dealer. In the event you must replace the batteries:
1. Locate and remove the ten screws found on the front panel (Fig. 1, #11). Do
not remove the front-panel screws located around the front-panel speaker grill
(Fig. 1, #12).
2. Carefully remove the front panel. Be careful not to stress the connecting wire
harness while setting aside the front panel.
3. Remove and set aside the wing nuts (Fig. 2, #2).
4. Remove and set aside the battery-retaining bracket (Fig. 2, #5).
5. Insert battery w/ the battery springs facing toward the battery circuit board
(Fig. 2, #4). Ensure they are firmly seated in the bottom of the battery bracket
housing.
6. Replace the battery-retaining bracket, and tighten the wing nuts securely.
7. Ensure the wire harness (Fig. 3, #1) is plugged into connector J9 (Fig. 3,
#2).
NOTE: It is important not to use alkaline lantern batteries. The high-power
amplifier requires current levels that only rechargeable batteries can sup-
ply.
8. While the unit is open, you may want to verify that the four screws securing
the feet and battery plate assembly are tight (Fig. 2, #6).
9. Replace the front panel, ensuring you have not pinched any wires. Do not
overtighten the ten front panel screws (technical information: Tighten to 6
inch-pounds).
NOTe: The silver pads located on the battery circuit board (Fig. 2, #4) are spaced
to accept the spring contacts found on a rechargeable lantern battery. The con-
figuration ensures springs make contact at any axis along which the batteries are
installed. The spring-contact circuit board is located on one end of the battery
storage housing. The spring contacts of the batteries must be in contact with this
board in order for the system to work. Installing the batteries in the wrong direc-
tion may cause damage to the unit (the batteries and/or the MAG-1001S will not
operate).
