The battery pack is charged directly in the R&S FPL1000 via the common AC or
DC power supply. The battery pack can be charged at an ambient temperature
between +0 °C and +45 °C. If the temperature is above or below these values,
charging is interrupted. If the battery temperature rises above +53 °C, charging is
stopped.
When the battery is being charged in standby mode, the POWER LED
blinks. During operation, the status bar indicates that the battery is
being charged.
The battery pack is not charged in the factory. The battery pack must be
charged before it is used the first time. A new battery pack or a battery pack
which has not been used for a longer time attains full capacity after several
charge/ discharge cycles.
Charging should be performed at a constant ambient temperature as tem-
perature variations may cause the charger to be switched off too early.
Additional battery packs (R&S FPL1-Z4)
In addition to the internal battery pack option (R&S FPL1-B30), spare battery
packs are available for the R&S FPL1000 (R&S FPL1-Z4). You can exchange the
batteries while the R&S FPL1000 is running, as long as one battery remains in
the instrument. However, it is not recommended that you operate the
R&S FPL1000 with only one battery for a longer period. Additional battery packs
can also be charged using the external battery charger option R&S FSV-B34.
