Working with Batteries
For Test Sets with a Serial Number Prefix lower than MY46360101, when in Off
mode, the test set draws 45 mA, or 18% of a full battery charge in a 24-hour
period
Agilent recommends that if the test set is not going to be used for an extended
period of time, you periodically check and maintain the batteries’ charge, or
remove the batteries from your test set. This will ensure you have sufficient
battery capacity if you intend to operate the test set from battery power.
Test Set Operation: Battery Drain in the Off or Standby Mode
The following table shows how long a test set can be left in Standby or Off modes
before the battery fails to provide enough current to operate the test set.
NOTE Times noted are based on fully chaged batteries operating at full capacity (If
batteries are not fully charged this time is reduced by the batery charge %.)
