AC Charger
Use the AC charger to charge the NiMH Battery pack. Plug the AC cord into the AC charger and into a power outlet. Plug the DC cord into the 965DSP.
Make sure that the key on the plug fits properly into the slot in the connector. The AC charger is meant for charging the NiMH battery pack only.
Do not use the AC charger to power the 965DSP during normal operations.
DC Charger
Use the Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge the NiMH battery pack from a vehicle’s battery. This adapter is meant for charging the NiHM battery pack only and should not be used to power the 965DSP during normal operations.
IR Port
The IR Port at the top of the 965DSP is used for downloading new software or uploading test results or TDR traces to a PC or printer. A separate IR adapter cable is available as an option for each application. Refer to ‘Stored Results’ (page 30) for directions to print or upload results.
Battery Holder
The plastic battery holder that comes with the 965DSP uses six “AA” alkaline batteries (alkaline batteries are not included).
Use alkaline batteries only when the NiMH battery pack is discharged and the AC adapter is not available. Typical lifetime of the alkaline battery pack is twenty hours of normal use (less if you use the backlight frequently, use the optional /SA or /ADSL features heavily, or work in very cold weather). There is no battery icon displayed if alkaline batteries are installed.
Note: The battery holder has protection against accidental charging of alkaline batteries.
The alkaline battery pack is installed the same way as the NiMH battery pack.
