Recharging the Battery (FIP-425B and FIP-435
Models Only)
The battery in your Fiber Inspection Probe is a Li-ion polymer battery with
three-cell format. The charge status is shown with the LEDs on the Fiber
Inspection Probe (see LED Indicators on page 6 for details). The
application also indicates the charge status.
The micro USB adapter connector recharges the battery of the probe when
it is low. You can recharge the battery with the provided USB cable and the
adapter/charger that you connect to a power outlet. You can also use the
provided USB cable alone that you connect to a USB port of a computer.
When the probe is connected to a power outlet or to a USB port, it still
works via Wi-Fi.
It is possible to recharge the battery of the probe when it is connected to
the USB port of a computer (500 mA).
CAUTION
Only charge the battery with the USB cable and adapter/charger
provided by EXFO with your unit.
You can purchase a new battery from EXFO.
IMPORTANT
The battery is not charged at the factory. You must fully charge
it before using the unit for the first time. The battery is fully
charged after a few hours or when the battery LED indicator
stops flashing. The charge cycle starts and stops automatically.
The time required to charge the battery depends on various
factors such as the ambient temperature.
To ensure that the battery functions or charges properly, keep it
within operation and storage temperature range.
