Best performance • For the best battery performance and accuracy of the
fuel gauge (showing percentage use of the battery),
completely discharge the battery, then make a complete
fast charge cycle (non-operating), and completely
discharge the battery again.
NOTE You must ensure that the charging cycle is not interrupted
by a battery discharge, and that the discharge cycle is not
interrupted by battery charging.
Battery temperature • It is best if you charge the battery at a limited and
controlled temperature
(10°C to 35°C, 50°F to 95°F).
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during
charging or after use.
• When completely charged, the battery will discharge
down to 80% before a new charging cycle is activated.
Battery Storage
• Remove your battery from the Mini-OTDR when not in
use. Store at room temperature (59
°F to 86°F, 1 5°C to
30
°C), and in a dry place for optimal performance.
• A charged battery will gradually lose its charge if left in
storage. It is therefore better if you top-off the charge
before use.
• It is good practise to recharge the battery every 2-3
months during storage.
Battery safety
Your battery has passed a UL-listed safety test. For the
best results, wipe the battery with a soft dry cloth if it
becomes dirty.
Do not disassemble or attempt to open the battery under
any circumstances.
