Recharging the
battery
The T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800 will typically run for up to four hours
on a fully charged battery, depending on the type of test.
Some applications or modes require more power than others,
so run time will vary based on the mode.
When the battery level is at 25 percent or less, the battery
should be recharged.
To charge the battery
1 Connect one end of the AC adapter to the power jack on
the right side panel.
2 Connect the other end of the AC adapter to an AC power
supply.
3 Let the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800 charge for up to 7 hours
depending on the battery charge level.
The power button is amber when the battery is charging.
The battery icon in the title bar turns green when the
charge is above the “low battery” threshold.
Charging the battery is complete.
Replacing the
battery
The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit.
NOTE:
You can test a circuit and recharge the battery at the same
time. If you do not want to interrupt the current test, you may
leave the power on and connect the AC power adapter. You
can also charge the battery while it is removed from the
T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Electrical shock may result in serious injury or death. Be
sure the AC Adapter is connected to the correct voltage
mains. Do not use outdoors or in wet locations. Use only
the AC Adapter supplied with the test set.
