Retraining the Battery Gauge
The accuracy of the battery gauge may drift over time if the
battery is frequently recharged before being fully
discharged. Retraining the battery gauge restores its
accuracy.
Retraining can take 17 to 30 hours. The time is shorter if
you start with the batteries discharged and modules (such
as the fiber module) installed in the main and remote
testers.
To retrain the battery gauge:
1
Connect the main and remote testers together using a
permanent link adapter and a channel adapter, two
channel adapters or two coaxial adapters and a patch
cord, or two fiber modules and a reference test cord.
2
Connect the ac adapters to the main and remote
testers. Turn on both testers.
3
Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then
select Battery Status. Verify that both the main and
remote battery gauges are shown. If the remote gauge
is missing, check the connections between the two
units.
4
Press J Train Battery.
5
To abort the retraining, hold down the power key (M)
on the main and remote testers until they turn off.
Retraining is complete when the testers have turned off
and the LED by the ac adapter connection is green.
Replacing the Battery
Replace the lithium ion battery pack when its life becomes
noticeably shorter or when it fails to reach full charge. The
battery is normally good for up to 400 charge/discharge
cycles.
/Note
Dispose of the lithium ion battery pack in
accordance with local regulations.
An internal lithium battery maintains the tester’s clock,
when you remove the battery pack. This battery typically
lasts about 5 years. When the battery begins to fail, the
tester will lose the current date and time when you remove
the battery pack. If the internal lithium battery fails, send
the tester to a Fluke Networks service center for a
replacement.
