Falcon
®
ED Series are designed to be maintenance-free.
They can be cleaned with a damp cloth or non-abrasive cleanser, providing the
ED is turned off and the input plug is disconnected from the utility source.
On a regular basis, check the vents to make sure they are kept free from
accumulation of dust, dirt or lint.
2. Battery Life vs. Temperature (Units supplied with batteries only)

The batteries should never be exposed to temperatures below 40ºF and above
104ºF
.
3. Battery Replacement (Units supplied with batteries only)
This unit contains sealed maintenance-free batteries (VRLA). When situated in
a typical office environment, with the proper charging and limited cycling, these
batteries can last many years. We recommend that the batteries be replaced
every three years.
Never attempt to service batteries. High voltage exists within the unit, which
could cause electrical shock. Servicing of batteries should be performed or
supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
When replacing the ED batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
