Operating Instructions
Overview
The 1503C front panel is protected by a watertight cover, in which the standard
accessories are stored. Secure the front cover by snapping the side latches outward.
If the instrument is inadvertently left on, installing the front cover will turn off the
POWER switch automatically.
The carrying handle rotates 325
°
and serves as a stand when positioned beneath the
instrument.
The 1503C can be stored in temperatures ranging from –62
°
C to +85
°
C if a battery
is not installed. If a battery is installed and the storage temperature is below –35
°
C or above +65
°
C, the battery pack should be removed and stored separately (see
1503C Service Manual for instructions on removing the battery). Battery storage
temperature should be between –35
°
C to +65
°
C.
In the field, the 1503C can be powered using the internal battery. For AC operation,
check the rear panel for proper voltage setting. The voltage selector can be seen
through the window of the protective cap. If the setting differs from the voltage
available, it can be easily changed. Simply remove the protective cap and select the
proper voltage using a screwdriver.
