INSTALLATION BATTERY CHARGING, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

CAUTION

•To avoid excessive heat build up, always remove the ML2430A from the optional soft sided carrying case (D41310) before selecting fast charging.

CAUTION

•The ML2430A battery pack can leak, explode, or catch on fire if it is opened, disassem- bled, or exposed to fire or very high temperatures. No attempt should be made to open, repair, or modify the battery package.

•When a battery pack has reached the end of its func- tional life, it should be re- turned to the nearest Anritsu Service Center for proper re- cycling or disposal. Do not treat a used battery as normal waste.

For optimal battery life, the battery should be fully discharged before re- charging. Repeated partial charge/discharge cycles can result in a loss of battery capacity, recoverable by applying several “conditioning” (full charge/discharge) cycles. If the power meter determines that a battery conditioning cycle is required, a message stating this requirement will be displayed on the front panel, and will remain until the battery is fully condi- tioned or replaced. A number of complete conditioning cycles may be nec- essary to fully condition a battery.

The ideal battery temperature ranges are:

￿Discharging: –20 to +50° C (–4 to +122° F)

￿ Charging: +10 to +45° C (+50 to +113° F)

Note that charging will be inhibited if the temperature falls outside these limits.

To remove the battery, first disconnect any AC or DC input line power. Open the battery compartment as illustrated and remove the battery. Re- place the battery only with an identical battery or an equivalent as recommended by an Anritsu Service Center. Ensure that the battery is correctly connected and that the battery compartment cover is securely fastened.

Note that the battery is an optional component that is not used for the re- tention of nonvolatile memory functions, and is not required for the Power Meter to operate from either AC or DC line sources. Serial and GPIB re- mote operation, however, are not available when the power meter is running from battery power.
