4. Operation
4.1. Preparation for use
Open the cover on the bottom panel of the analyzer. Install two fully charged 1.2V
Ni-MH (or two 1.5V alkaline) batteries, watching the polarity.
Do not:
– mix new and old batteries;
– use batteries of different types at the same time;
– overheat or disassemble batteries;
– short-circuit batteries;
– try to re-charge alkaline batteries.
To charge Ni-MH batteries, use charging adapters recommended for this type of
batteries.
Any leaks of electrolyte from the batteries may seriously damage the analyzer.
Remove batteries if the analyzer is not being used for a long period of time. Store
batteries in a dry cool place.
4.2. Turning the analyzer on or off
To turn the analyzer on or off, use the power button located at the bottom right
corner of the keypad. When this button is pressed, firmware version number as well
as battery voltage are displayed on the LCD.
The on-screen menu system of RigExpert antenna analyzers provides a simple but
effective way to control the entire device.
Since capabilities of AA-30 and AA-54 are different, menus of these analyzers are
also slightly different. When needed, screen shots of both analyzer types are shown
in the following examples.
