Battery Management; Warranty - Gigahertz Solutions HFW59D Manual

M a d e in G e r m a n y

Battery Management

The instrument comes with a rechargeable, high quality internal NiMH
battery. The quality of these batteries can be best maintained if they
are almost totally discharged (i.e. used) before being fully recharged
(for > 13 hours or until the green charging LED turns off). The loading
procedure is started by switching the meter on and off once only after
connecting it to the power supply unit.
Hint: Always carry a 9V primary battery with you for emergency cases!
Auto-Power-Off
In order to extend the total operating time of the batteries, the HF an-
alyser will automatically shut off after approx. 40 minutes. This func-
tion is automatically deactivated when plugging in a 2.5 mm DC. If
"LOW BATT" appears vertically between the digits in the center of the
display, the HF analyser will already turn OFF after 3 minutes in order
to avoid unreliable measurements.

Warranty

We provide a two-year warranty on factory defects of the HF analyser,
the antenna and accessories.
Antenna
The semi-flexible coaxial cables are not designed for frequent bend-
ing, and should therefore, once positioned, preferably not be further
twisted. Early wear or damages caused by bending are therefore ex-
cluded from the warranty.
HF Analyser
The analyser itself is not impact proof: Due to the comparatively heavy
battery pack and the large number of delicate components, damages
caused by shock cannot be ruled out. Any damage as a result of mis-
use or shock is therefore excluded from this warranty.
