Cleaning the instrument

Cleaning the instrument
The instrument itself does not require any specialized cleaning. An occasional wipe with a damp
cloth is sufficient.
NOTE:
When cleaning the instrument, JDSU recommends a damp cloth and water only. Cleaning with
chemicals could cause damage to the plastic case, buttons, or removal of markings.

Prolonging battery life

The SmartClass Triple Play Services uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery pack. To
prolong the life span of any batteries, follow the guidelines below:
– When not connected to the unit, store the battery in a cool, dry, and clean environment. Do not
leave the battery in a car or truck, particularly during extremely hot or cold weather.
– The first time you use the SmartClass Triple Play Services, or after prolonged storage, use the
AC adapter to power the unit.
– If the battery capacity is depleted or if the battery has been stored for a prolonged period,
charge the battery before use.
– If charging the battery while they are in the unit, use the JDSU AC adapter to charge the
batteries. Do not use an un-approved charger.
– The charger will not charge the battery when it is extremely hot or cold.
– Always dispose of batteries properly.
The following section describes how to recharge and replace the batteries.

Recharging the battery

When the Batt LED lights red, the battery should be charged or replaced.
NOTE:
You can test a circuit and recharge the battery at the same time. If you do not want to interrupt
the current test, you may leave the power on and connect the AC power adaptor.
To charge the battery
1 Connect one end of the AC adapter to the connector on the bottom of the SmartClass Triple
Play Services.
2 Connect the other end of the AC adapter to an AC power supply.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Electrical shock may result in serious injury or death. Be sure the AC Adapter is connected to the
correct voltage mains. Do not use outdoors or in wet locations. Use only the AC Adapter supplied
with the test set.
3 Let the SmartClass Triple Play Services charge for 5 hours for a fast charge; for maximum
capacity, allow the SmartClass to (trickle) charge overnight.
The charging time will be the same whether the power is on or off.
