Keeping Batteries in Optimal Condition

Always operate the test tool on batteries until an -icon appears on the bottom line of the screen. This indicates that the battery level is low and that the Ni-Cd batteries need to be recharged.

Frequent charging of the batteries when they are not completely empty can reduce the operating time for the test tool.

You can refresh the battery pack at any time. This battery refresh cycle fully discharges and charges the battery pack. A complete refresh cycle takes about 12 hours and should be done at least four times a year.

Note

Be sure not to disconnect the Power Adapter during the complete refresh cycle. Doing so will interrupt the refresh cycle.

To refresh the battery pack, do the following:
