Anritsu ML2430A - Manual (Page 22)

For optimal battery life, the battery should be fully discharged before re-
charging. Repeated partial charge/discharge cycles can result in a loss of
battery capacity, recoverable by applying several “conditioning” (full
charge/discharge) cycles. If the power meter determines that a battery
conditioning cycle is required, a message stating this requirement will be
displayed on the front panel, and will remain until the battery is fully condi-
tioned or replaced. A number of complete conditioning cycles may be nec-
essary to fully condition a battery.
The ideal battery temperature ranges are:
q Discharging: –20 to +50° C (–4 to +122° F)
q Charging: +10 to +45° C (+50 to +113° F)
Note that charging will be inhibited if the temperature falls outside these
limits.
To remove the battery, first disconnect any AC or DC input line power.
Open the battery compartment as illustrated and remove the battery. Re-
place the battery only with an identical battery or an equivalent as
recommended by an Anritsu Service Center. Ensure that the battery is
correctly connected and that the battery compartment cover is securely
fastened.
Note that the battery is an optional component that is not used for the re-
tention of nonvolatile memory functions, and is not required for the Power
Meter to operate from either AC or DC line sources. Serial and GPIB re-
mote operation, however, are not available when the power meter is
running from battery power.

CAUTION
• To avoid excessive heat build
up, always remove the
ML2430A from the optional
soft sided carrying case
(D41310) before selecting fast
charging.
CAUTION
• The ML2430A battery pack
can leak, explode, or catch on
fire if it is opened, disassem-
bled, or exposed to fire or
very high temperatures. No
attempt should be made to
open, repair, or modify the
battery package.
• When a battery pack has
reached the end of its func-
tional life, it should be re-
turned to the nearest Anritsu
Service Center for proper re-
cycling or disposal. Do not
treat a used battery as normal
waste.
