The life of batteries is strongly influenced by the care that they receive. The greatest enemy of batteries is heat. When using rechargeable batteries, avoid charging them when they are hot.

Battery life can also be shortened if you frequently leave NetTool in a hot place, such as a car on a warm day and then charge the batteries immediately upon returning to your office.

Using the AC Adapter

The (optional) AC adapter plugs into the left side of NetTool, as shown in Figure 1-6 below:
