Agilent G3388A Leak Detector
Operation Manual

Power Supply
The Agilent Leak Detector is powered by rechargeable nickel
metal hydride batteries. These batteries are not fully charged
when the detector is shipped from the factory and must be
recharged before the detector can be used. It takes
approximately 3 hours to fully recharge the batteries; when
fully charged, they will provide approximately 5 hours of
continuous service.
Do not use the detector for 30 minutes after recharging to allow
its temperature to stabilize.
A blinking battery display or a “Low Battery Error” message
indicates that the batteries are low and must be recharged with
the attached recharger.
Follow this procedure to replace the leak detector’s batteries:
1
Remove the four screws on the back of the leak detector
using an appropriate screwdriver.
2
Set the screws aside.
