3.2 Handling the battery
Consider the following notes on proper handling of batteries:
●
When delivered, the battery is in sleeping mode, which is kept as long as the
battery is unpacked and unused. The sleeping mode allows for a longer stor-
age time.
●
Before you can use the handheld oscilloscope with a new battery, insert the
battery pack and charge it.
●
Once the battery is used for the first time, it must be charged regularly, at least
every 3 months.
●
Avoid a deep discharge below 5% of the battery's capacity.
●
We recommend changing the battery after 12 months of usage.
●
Observe the safety regulations in "Handling batteries safely" on page 7.
To insert and charge the battery
1. Turn off the instrument power. Remove power supply, probes, test leads and
all other cables.
