Battery Life
From a full charge, you can operate the TekScope instrument
continuously for approximately two hours. You can extend the
battery life by using automatic Power Off Time-out or Backlight
Time-out. Refer to page 3–65 for a description of these features.
The TekScope instrument turns off automatically when the battery
runs low. A low-battery message appears in the display about ten
minutes before the automatic shutdown.
Nickel-cadmium batteries can lose capacity permanently if not
allowed to discharge completely. Whenever possible, allow the
battery to discharge completely before you recharge it to minimize
this capacity loss.
Charging the Battery Pack
You can use external power to charge the battery pack while it is in
the TekScope instrument. Or you can charge the battery pack with
the optional external battery charger.
NOTE. Before using the battery for the first time, it must be charged.
Typical battery charging times are listed below.
Configuration Typical Charging Time
Battery pack in TekScope instrument 9 hours
Battery pack in external charger 1.5 hours
CAUTION. To avoid loss of saved information when a battery pack is
not installed, set the ON/STBY control to STBY before disconnecting
external power.
