1.1 Supplying Power to the
CL 5
• The instrument is powered by a Lithium (Li) battery
pack.
• It will also accept three “AA” size Alkaline, NiCAD, or
NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery types.
• The Lithium battery, which is recommended, will
provide up to approximately 25 hours of service life.
This pack (and only this pack) may be recharged
in the instrument using the charger provided with
your instrument.
• When other types of rechargeable batteries are
used, they must be removed from the instrument
for charging.
To install batteries, remove the battery-compartment
cover as shown in Figure 1-1. After inserting the Li
pack or three “AA” batteries according to the polarity
indicated in the battery compartment, replace the
compartment cover. Instructions on specifying
battery type are found in Section 3.2.
