Replacing the Battery

Replace the lithium ion battery pack when its life becomes
noticeably shorter. The battery is normally good for up to
400 charge/discharge cycles.
/
Dispose of the lithium ion battery pack in
accordance with local regulations.
An internal lithium battery maintains the tester's clock and
other settings when you remove the battery pack. This
battery typically lasts about 5 years. When the battery begins
to fail, the tester will lose the current date and time when
you remove the battery pack. If the lithium battery fails, send
the tester to a Fluke Networks service center for a
replacement.

Storage

•
Before storing the tester or an extra battery for an
extended period, charge the battery to between
70 % and 90 % of full charge (2 or 3 LEDs lit on the
battery's gauge). Check the battery every 4 months and
recharge if necessary.
•
Keep a battery attached to the tester during storage.
Removing the battery for long periods shortens the life
of the lithium battery that maintains the clock.
