Recharging the Batteries

Charge the batteries immediately when the low

battery annunciator starts flashing. It is strongly

recommended that you use only the specified

type of 24 V AC adapter to charge these

rechargeable batteries.

1Power down the instrument and disconnect

all the test leads from the terminals.

2Plug the AC adapter into the jack on the side

panel.

3Set the slide switch at the CHARGE position.

4The red light indicates that the batteries are

being recharged.

5When the batteries have been fully recharged,

the green light turns on. Remove the AC

adapter and set the slide switch at the Mor

M/S position.

WARNING

Do not discharge a battery by shorting it or subjecting

it to reverse polarity. Do not mix different types of

battery. Make sure a battery is rechargeable before

charging it.

CAUTION

Do not turn the rotary switch while the instrument is

being recharged because a DC 24 V supply is

applied to the charging terminal.
