2. Safety Summary
2.11. Do Not Remove Covers or Panels
To avoid personal injury and risk of electric shock, do not open the CT100B case unless
replacing the battery and do not operate unless the case is fully intact.
WARNING: Disconnect power, USB, Ethernet, and test cables prior to
opening the CT100B case to replace the battery. Failure to do so can
render an electric shock.
2.12. Connecting Cables to the Test Port
To avoid damage to the CT100B and the very sensitive sampling electronics associated with the
front panel BNC or SMA connector, do not connect it to any cable or device that can be driven
by active circuitry or is subject to transient voltage spikes.
WARNING and CAUTION: The instrument should never be used to test
any cable or device carrying live electrical signals, as this carries a risk of
electric shock. This could also damage the sampling electronics and will
void the Warranty.
CAUTION: Always properly ground the conductor(s) of any cable or
wiring to remove any static charge prior to connecting it, either directly
or indirectly through attachment to another cable, to the CT100B’s front
panel test port connector. Failure to do so can damage the instrument’s
sensitive sampling electronics and will void the Warranty.
2.13. Battery Replacement and Disposal
The CT100B contains an internal battery pack. The internal battery pack is 2700 mAh, NiMH,
12 AA cells, 14.40 volts, 38.88 Wh. There is also a 120 mAh lithium button cell of 2.8 volts and
0.336 Wh. Depending on the state or local jurisdiction, these batteries may require special
disposal and/or recycling. Contact your local authorities for safe disposal in your area, or you
may return them to MOHR for recycling.
WARNING: The battery pack must be replaced with MOHR pn: CT100-
AC-B2700. Use of any other battery pack will damage the instrument and
pose a danger of fire.
CAUTION: User replacement of components is limited. Multiple war-
ranty seals are installed on components within the CT100B. Removal or
damage of these seals voids warranty.
