Important Battery Information
·
The NiMH battery supplied with the Site Master has already completed three charge and
discharge cycles at the factory and full battery performance should be realized after the
first charge.
·
Recharge the battery only in the Site Master, or in an Anritsu approved charger.
·
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
·
Storing the battery in extreme hot or cold places will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. The battery will discharge faster at higher ambient temperatures (see Figure
2-9).
·
Discharge an NiMH battery from time to time to improve battery performance and bat-
tery life.
·
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear
out.
·
The battery may need to be replaced when the operating time between charging is notice-
ably shorter than normal.
·
If a battery is allowed to totally discharge, the smart-memory capability of the battery
may be lost, resulting in incorrect battery capacity readings or loss of communication
with the battery.
·
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
·
Do not drop, mutilate or attempt to disassemble the battery.
·
Never use a damaged or worn out charger or battery.
·
Always use the battery for its intended purpose only.

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of the battery to charge. Allow the battery to
cool down or warm up as necessary before use or charging.
