Power Lead and Battery Charging
If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your mains connection, do not
use an adaptor. Always use a power lead fitted with the correct plug.
The instrument is fitted with a two-pin IEC60320 power inlet. Most power
leads are made with three-core cable, so the ground connection will not
be used.

If using a fused plug, ensure that it is fitted with a 3 Amp fuse.
The instrument can be powered from 90 - 265 Vrms a.c. at 50/60 Hz. The
battery will charge as long as the mains supply is connected, except when
a test is in progress. For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each
use. A completely exhausted battery will take 8 hours to recharge.
