Maximizing Battery Life

The life of batteries is strongly influenced by the care that
they receive. The greatest enemy of batteries is heat.
When using rechargeable batteries, avoid charging them
when they are hot.

Battery life can also be shortened if you frequently leave
NetTool in a hot place, such as a car on a warm day and
then charge the batteries immediately upon returning to
your office.

Using the AC Adapter

The (optional) AC adapter plugs into the left side of
NetTool, as shown in Figure 1-6 below:
