Recharging the Battery
Recharging the Battery
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. The application also indicates the charge status.
The micro-USB power adapter recharges the battery of the probe when it is
low. You can recharge the battery with the provided USB cable and the
USB power adapter 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. It is possible to recharge the battery of the probe when it is
connected to the USB port of a computer (500 mA).
When the probe is connected to a power outlet or to a USB port, it still
works via Wi-Fi.
CAUTION
Only charge the battery with the USB cable and USB power adapter
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 (see Probe LED Indicators on page 8 for details).
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.
