Direct the microphone horizontally towards the testing point and, if necessary, connect it to the sound level meter. 9.3.4.3 Place the battery or combination, in accordance with the instructions on the label with the initial fuse in the centre of the test area and, if appropriate, the battery or combination fully extended across the centre of the test area. Remove the orange fuse cover, if any, and straighten the initial fuse, if necessary. Apply the ignition source (9.3.3.3) and at the same instant, start the timing device (9.3.3.1). Observe the intermediate time at the moment the initial fuse ignites. If the initial fuse fails to ignite within 10 s do not proceed with further testing of that battery or combination. Otherwise, stop the timing device when the battery or combination starts to produce its first principal effect. Record whether the initial fuse ignited within 10 s and whether the ignition of the initial fuse was visible.
