Maintenance Cleaning the Touchscreen of Your FTB-200 v2 Unit Cleaning the Touchscreen of Your FTB-200 v2 Unit Clean the touchscreen with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as one used for cleaning reading glasses, dampened with water. CAUTION Using anything else than water can damage the special coating of the touchscreen. Recharging the Main Battery The main Lithium-Ion battery will last about 8 hours in normal operation. The clock battery is recharged automatically along with the main battery.
Maintenance Recharging the Main Battery IMPORTANT Batteries are not charged at the factory. Fully charge them (about 3 hours) before using the unit for the first time. The time required to charge batteries depends on various factors such as the type of modules currently in use and the ambient temperature. To ensure that batteries function or charge properly, keep them in temperatures between 10 °C and 40 °C (50 °F and 104 °F). Store below 50 °C (122 °F).
Maintenance Recalibrating the Battery Recalibrating the Battery Depending on the way the unit is used, after a while, the charge status icon may no longer correspond to the actual power level of the battery (for example, the battery level icon indicates that power level is sufficient, but unit turns off because battery is too weak). A complete calibration cycle will be necessary.
Maintenance Recalibrating the Battery To recalibrate the batteries: 1. From the Main Menu, select Setup, and then double-tap Battery Calibration. 2. Connect the AC adapter/charger to your unit.
Maintenance Recalibrating the Battery 3. Tap the Start Calibration button (the Stop Calibration button will become available). Once calibration is complete, the Start Calibration button becomes available again.
Maintenance Replacing Batteries Replacing Batteries Your unit uses a battery with built-in protection that has been especially designed for EXFO. For this reason, you can only replace the main battery with a similar one. You can purchase new batteries from EXFO. CAUTION Use Li-Ion batteries of the same type and model only. Use of other batteries may damage your unit and compromise your safety. WARNING Do not throw batteries into fire or water and do not short-circuit the battery’s electrical contacts.
Maintenance Recalibrating the Unit Recalibrating the Unit EXFO manufacturing and service center calibrations are based on the ISO/IEC 17025 standard (General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories). This standard states that calibration documents must not contain a calibration interval and that the user is responsible for determining the re-calibration date according to the actual use of the instrument. The validity of specifications depends on operating conditions.
Maintenance Recycling and Disposal (Applies to European Union Only) To help you with calibration follow-up, EXFO provides a special calibration label that complies with the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and indicates the unit calibration date and provides space to indicate the due date.
