Powering the Analyzer
The Analyzer has a built-in rechargeable NiMH battery that can power it for more than 6
hours when fully charged. When powered by the battery, the battery condition symbol in
the screen header indicates the charge condition. This symbol ranges from fully charged
to empty: .
When empty allow the batteries to fully charge with the Battery Charger/Power Adapter
model BC430. A full charge takes about 4 hours with the Analyzer turned off. When
turned-on charging takes much longer.
No damage will occur if the charger is connected for long periods, e.g. over the weekend.
The Analyzer automatically switches to trickle charging. At delivery the battery may be
empty and it is recommended to charge it before use.
Concerning the use of the Battery Charger/Power Adapter bear the following in mind:
• Use only the supplied Battery Charger/Power Adapter model BC430.
• Before use check that the BC430 voltage and frequency match the local line power
range.
If necessary set the slider switch of BC430 to the correct voltage.
• Connect the Battery Charger to the ac outlet.
• Connect the battery charger to the POWER ADAPTER input on the top side of the
Analyzer.
• To avoid overheating of the battery during charging, do not exceed the allowable
ambient temperature as given in the specifications.
