Preparation for first time use Battery Types Used The Model 606, 607, 608 and 609 generators come with four (4) size AA rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. These 1500 mA-H rated batteries can normally be recharged about 1000 times before needing replacement. Only suitable NiMH batteries can be safely recharged in the generator. -

Page 8: Outputs Calibration Procedure
Options Menu - Output Calibration All Model 606, 607 and 608 video test generators use programmable hardware to set all of the ampli- tude calibration factors analog video outputs. These calibration factors are stored in Flash EPROM and are not lost if the batteries are run down or removed. Firmware updates will not affect these factors in most cases. - Page 9 Options Menu - Output Calibration Continued Setting calibration factors to nominal values The Reset selection in the main calibration menu (top figure on right) sets all of the generator’s calibration factors to default nominal values.
