Charging the Batteries

The batteries are not charged on delivery. Before initial operation, the batter-
ies must be fully charged without connected load (R&S

 

TSMA6/6B, R&S

TSME6 reps. R&S TSMExxDC).

For charging the batteries, users have two possibilities:

In-bay charging in the R&S

 

TSMA6B-BP

Insert the batterie(s) in the correct way (charge indicator facing up). Take care of
the nut in the battery and the pin inside the battery bay (see 

Chapter 6.6, "Battery

Exchange - Hot Swapping"

on page 34).
