2.3.1 Protection from water and dust ingress
Although the basic unit provides some protection from water and dust ingress for outdoor use, Spirent
recommends the use of the optional jacket to increase the level of protection. For information about
purchasing the jacket, please contact your account representative.
2.3.2 Important battery charging note
The battery will not charge if its internal temperature is 113° F. (45° C.) or higher. However, upon
connection to external power, the unit may still report that it is charging in the system status and/or the
CHARGE LED may illuminate green. The following paragraphs describe this behavior in more detail.
The Li-Ion battery used in the unit is a “smart” battery that communicates important metrics to the unit
CPU. Included in these metrics is the desired charge current. When the battery exceeds the temperature
limit, it indicates that no charge current is desired, which the unit interprets as fully-charged. Because the
battery does not report the overtemperature condition, the unit must default to indicating a fully-charged
state.
Because of this temperature limit, use caution when leaving the unit in direct sunlight or any other warm
environment. For example, a unit resting on a dashboard in direct sunlight can heat to very high
temperatures in a very short amount of time. If a battery heats up beyond the temperature limit, simply
allow it to cool and charging will resume normally when the temperature reaches an acceptable level.
Note that the battery status screen accurately reports the current battery temperature, whether or not
charging is enabled. For more information, see Battery Status on page 5-8.
2.3.3 Powering on/off
When the unit is off, the power button turns it on. When the unit is on, the power button prompts you
whether to power off the unit.
While on battery power, the unit supports automatic shutdown after a specified amount of idle time. For
more information, see System/Module Settings > Base Unit on page 5-16.
2.3.4 Attaching the strap
A strap with a hook is provided to hang the unit while working. To attach the strap, first make sure that the
buckle is facing up, then slide the open end around and through the strap mount at the top of the unit:
