Test-Um NT955 Series

Battery and Power Management

The lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (NT93) included with the Validator-

NT main unit and remote are recharged any time the Validator-NT or

remote are connected to the AC adapters included in the Validator-NT

kit. Use of other adapters, particularly car adapters, should always be

avoided.

The batteries continue to charge during operation. The batteries included

in the kit are designed to work with the Validator-NT battery information

system. They have the ability to store usage information that can be

used to monitor the loss of capacity in the battery over time. Using other

batteries of similar style will result in not knowing the battery condition or

state of charge.

Each unit can run on battery power for approximately 8 hours. Since the

remote uses considerably less power than the Validator-NT main unit, a

full days use can be assured by swapping the batteries between the two

in the middle of the day.

A full recharge cycle takes approximately 2 ½ half hours.

The lithium-ion batteries for Validator-NT can be used and stored in

locations that do not exceed 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees

Celsius) or 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) limits. If the

Validator-NT senses an out of range condition while charging, it displays

Hot or Cold below the battery symbol and suspends charging. The

remote flashes the charging light rapidly and suspends charging for as

long as the temperature is out of range.

Note: Do not discard lithium-ion batteries in an area where they can

be burned or in regular trash. Li-Ion batteries can explode if exposed

to open flame and create hazardous waste. Dispose in a proper

environmentally safe fashion.

WEEE Compliant: Prior to disposal of this product, please

contact Test-Um Inc for proper disposal options.
