Battery Information
Charging a New Battery
The NiMH battery supplied with the Site Master has already completed three charge and
discharge cycles at the factory and full battery performance should be realized after your
first charge.
NOTE: Use only Anritsu approved batteries, adapters and chargers with this in-
strument. The battery will not charge if the battery temperature is above 45° C
or below 0° C.
Charging the Battery in the Site Master
The battery can be charged while installed in the Site Master.
Step 1. Turn the Site Master off.
Step 2. Connect the AC-DC adapter to the Site Master charging port.
Step 3. Connect the AC adapter to a 120 VAC or 240 VAC power source as appropriate
for your application.
The green external power indicator on the Site Master will illuminate, indicating
the presence of external DC power, the battery charge indicator will light, and
the battery will begin fast charging. If the battery fails to charge, contact your
nearest Anritsu service center.
NOTES: If the battery temperature exceeds 50° C while charging, the charging
will stop and the charge indicator will turn off. Charging will resume automati-
cally when the temperature drops below 50° C.
Charging the Battery in the Optional Charger
Up to two batteries can be charged sequentially in the optional battery charger.
Step 1. Remove the NiMH battery from your Site Master and place it in the optional
charger (Anritsu part number 2000-1029).
Step 2. Connect the lead from the AC-DC adapter to the charger.
Step 3. Connect the AC-DC adapter to a 120 VAC or 240 VAC power source as appro-
priate for your application.
Each battery holder in the optional charger has an LED charging status indicator. The LED
color changes as the battery is charged:
Red indicates the battery is charging
Green indicates the battery is fully charged
Yellow indicates the battery is in a waiting state (see below).
A yellow light may occur because the battery became too warm during the charge cycle.
The charger will allow the battery to cool off before continuing the charge. A yellow light
may also indicate that the charger is alternating charge to each of the two batteries.
