CHARGING THE BATTERY

WARNING

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, USE ONLY A BATTERY CHARGER THAT IS AUTHORIZED FOR USE WITH SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL.

Use the following procedure to charge the battery pack and power the instrument:

1.Connect the Power Adapter/Battery Charger to line voltage.

2.Insert the Power Adapter/Battery Charger low voltage plug into the Power Adapter connector of the ScopeMeter test tool. The test tool can now be used while the NiCad batteries charge slowly. If the test tool is turned off, the batteries charge more quickly.

NOTE

When the batteries are completely empty, the test tool can not work during charging. In that case it is advised to charge the batteries for 21 hours before using the test tool.

During operation, when the batteries are low, a blinking

battery symbol appears on the top right of the display. When this occurs there is typically more than 30 minutes of operating time left.

3.The Power Adapter/Battery Charger uses a trickle charge for the batteries, so no damage can occur if you leave it charging for long periods, e.g., through the weekend. Typically a 21-hour recharge provides 4 hours of use.

Saving Battery Life

When operated only on batteries, the test tool conserves power by shutting itself down. If no new keys have been pressed for 6 minutes or if the battery level is too low, the test tool beeps and displays a message. This prompts you to turn off the test tool or to continue. If no key is pressed during the next 5 minutes, the test tool turns itself off automatically.

When the is pressed ON, the last configuration prior to the automatic shutdown will be restored.

Automatic power shutdown will not occur if Min Max TrendPlot™ or ScopeRecord™ is active or if any key is pressed. Although recording will continue if the batteries are low, memory retention is not jeopardized.

If the Power Adapter is connected, there is no automatic power shutdown.
