2-3 Turning On the Cell Master
The Anritsu Cell Master is capable of approximately three hours of continuous operation from
a fully charged, field-replaceable battery (see Section 1-15 “Battery Replacement”
on page 1-7). The Cell Master can also be operated from a 12 Vdc source (which will also
simultaneously charge the battery). This can be achieved with either the Anritsu AC-DC
Adapter or the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter. Both items are included with the
Cell Master.
Caution
When using the Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter, always verify that the
supply is rated for a minimum of 60 Watts @ 12 VDC, and that the socket is clear
of any dirt or debris. If the adapter plug becomes hot to the touch during operation,
discontinue use immediately.
