is

set

at

10.5V

(average

figure)

assuming

that

a

NiCad

battery

will

be

used.

This

warning

can

be

adjusted

in

0.5V

increments

between

a

range

of

lO.OV

~

13.0V.

If

batteiy

voltage

drops

below

the

setup

warning

figure,

an

alarm

(beep-beep)

will

be

heard

from

the
