1.3.2 Battery Operation
The lithium ion battery has a capacity of approximately 4 Ah and allows operation of up
to three hours when it is fully charged.
The actual operation time depends on the current charge status, the ambient
temperature and the operating mode of the R&S ZVH.
The R&S ZVH shows the current charge status at the top of the display.
When fully charged, the battery icon is completely white. As the battery loses power,
the white color in the battery icon fades away until it turns red and starts to blink. When
the icon starts to blink, the battery low level has been reached. For more information
see "
Note that the battery is not fully charged when it is dispatched. For battery operation
you have to charge it first.
To charge the battery, connect the AC power adapter included in the delivery. For
more information see "
Charging time is about 2.5 hours when the R&S ZVH is switched off. If it is switched
on, the charging time is extended to about 3.5 hours, because the charging current is
reduced by the power drain of the R&S ZVH.
During operation in the field, you can also charge the battery with the R&S HA-Z202
car adapter (order no. 1309.6117.00). You can connect the car adapter to the DC port.
With the car adapter, you are able to charge the R&S ZVH via the car's cigarette lighter
socket.
While charging, the R&S ZVH displays an arrow within the battery charge status
indicator at the top right of the display to show that it is connected to the power supply
and is charging.
When the battery is fully charged (or when you use the R&S ZVH without a battery), a
plug icon is displayed instead of the battery icon.
You can set up the R&S ZVH to automatically turn off if no input is made after a
particular time period. The possible range is from 0 to 99 minutes. For more
information see "
In the default state, the automatic cut-off is inactive.
A replacement battery (R&S FSH-Z206) with a capacity of approximately 6 Ah and an
operating time of 4.5 hours is available as an accessory. Charging time for the
replacement battery is about 3.5 hours if the R&S ZVH is switched off and about 4.5
hours if the R&S ZVH is switched on.
