5. Preparations for Use
5.1 Initial instructions
Remove instrument, power lead and pouch from the packing box.
Clip the test lead pouch to the lid.
Open the lid and familiarise yourself with the layout and position of the IEC 60320 power inlet on the left side
of the panel. An isolated USB socket and a 9 pin D-type connector for the remote control indicator beacon are
found on the right side of the instrument. Test terminals are located to the rear of the front panel.
Unpack test leads and place them into the lead pouch.
Read the product manual, especially the warnings.
A quick reference is provided in the instrument lid.
Keep the original packaging for re-use
5.2 Power lead and battery charging
If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your AC connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a power
lead fitted with the correct plug.
Do not use an inadequately rated AC lead.
If using a fused plug, ensure that it is fitted with a 3A fuse.
Supply voltage: 90 to 265 V rms ac at 50/60 Hz.
A green LED illuminates when line power/mains is present.
The battery will charge over its operating temperature range as long as an AC source is connected, except when
a test is in progress.
For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each use. Full charge duration is up to 2½ hours but a first
charge time of 3 hours is advised.
The battery must be charged between 0 °C and 40 °C ambient temperature. If the battery detects a temperature
outside this range the battery symbol will flash
