First, charge the battery
When shipped, the battery inside the COMPANO 100 test set is partly charged, and the test set can be
used immediately. To fully charge the battery, grant a charging time of about 90 minutes.
Use the OMICRON-supplied charger, only. That charger has a magnetically attached power connector.
Such a connector has the advantage that, when it is tugged — for example, by someone tripping over
the cord — it will pull out of the test set's socket without damaging the connector or the socket.
Then connect COMPANO 100 to the device you would like to test
For safety reasons, press the emergency stop button while connecting, and secure the test set
against reactivation (→ Wiring and Safe Connection on page 9).
