Narda IDA-3106 29
Changing the battery pack
NOTE: The device also has an internal NiMH buffer battery which will power the
device for 10 seconds so you can replace the rechargeable battery during
operation (hot swap). You cannot access this buffer battery. As a part of
normal maintenance, have a Narda Service Center replace the buffer
battery every four years.
1. Undo screw (1) in the battery compartment cover.
2. Pull out the battery pack using the tab (2).
3. Hold the tab on the new battery pack and slide the battery pack into the
compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover and do up the screw (finger
tight).
NOTE: Under normal circumstances the battery will not cause any environmental
damage. However, because they contain dangerous chemicals, they must
be disposed of separately when they reach the end of their useful life. The
batteries are classed as dangerous waste. It is therefore considered
hazardous waste, and must be disposed of via a recognized recycling /
return system. It must not be thrown away with normal trash (also see
Proper disposal on page 18).
3.3.3 Operation from AC adapter / charger
The IDA-3106 can also be operated and powered from the AC adapter /
charger.
However, this is not recommended for general use, as the measurement
characteristics can be significantly affected by the presence of the power
supply cable in the electromagnetic field when the IDA-3106 is operated
with the AC adapter / charger connected to it.
