Powering the Tester
 You may charge the battery when it is attached or
detached from the tester. Figure 4 shows how to
remove the battery.
 The battery charges fully in about 4 hours with the
tester off. A fully-charged battery lasts for at least 12
hours of typical use.
Note
The battery will not charge at temperatures
outside of 0
°C to 45 °C (32 °F to 113 °F). The
battery charges at a reduced rate between 40 °C
and 45 °C (104 °F and 113 °F).
 The battery status icon ( ) near the upper-right
corner of main screens shows the battery’s charge
level. The smart remote’s LEDs show the smart
remote’s battery status at the end of the power-up
cycle, as shown in Figure 5.
 For additional battery information, connect the main
tester and smart remote through link adapters, turn
the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then select
Battery Status. See page 45 for information on
retraining the battery gauge.
 If the battery does not reach full charge within 6
hours, the battery LED flashes red. Verify that the
battery was within the temperature range given
above during charging and that the correct ac adapter
was used. Disconnect then reconnect ac power and try
charging the battery again. If the battery does not
charge the second time, retrain the battery gauge.
See page 45.
