is fully charged. Only charge the battery when ambient temperature is between
16°C and 30°C (61°F and 86°F) It normally takes about three hours to fully
charge the battery. The instrument can be operated while the battery is being
charged. The charging indicator on the back panel is green when the battery is
fully charged and amber when being charged using the AC adapter.
The battery may self-discharge over several months, especially if the tempera-
ture is warm. The battery pack can be used for a minimum of 500 charge-dis-
charge cycles before needing to be replaced. Replacement battery packs are
available from the manufacturer. The battery pack can be easily removed and
replaced in the field by following this procedure:
1. Power the 1529 off and unplug the AC adapter from the unit.
2. Turn the 1529 over to expose the battery compartment. Remove the bat-
tery cover hex screw. Place the screw in a safe place so it won't get lost.
Flip open the battery cover to reach the battery pack.
3. Remove the battery pack. Gently disconnect the battery plug connector.
4. Attach the polarized plug of the new battery pack onto the connector.
Note: The battery plug is polarized and can only be plugged in one di-
rection. DO NOT force it. Place the battery pack in the battery
compartment.
5. Close the battery cover and replace the screw. Avoid pinching the battery
wires.
6. Plug in the AC adapter and charge for a minimum of four hours for the
initial charge. Used batteries must be disposed of properly. Check your
local regulations for additional information. You may return used batter-
ies to the manufacturer. Never dispose of batteries in fire as this may re-
sult in an explosion with the possibility of personal injury or property
damage.
When the battery charge is not at 100%, the measurement accuracy is not af-
fected. If the power is interrupted while the instrument is logging measure-
ments (on demand or automatically), the logged data is preserved and logging
resumes when the power is restored.
