TSG 95 Pathfinder
User Manual
Down disabled. In such cases, the TSG 95 is likely to shut itself
down almost immediately the next time you switch it on. If this hap-
pens:
h
Install fresh batteries or operate the instrument with the AC
adapter, and
h
Confirm that the Utility menu Battery Type setting is ap-
propriate.
The shutdown threshold is higher for rechargeable batteries than for
disposable. Therefore, you will receive a false BATTERY LOW
message and may experience premature shutdown if using Alkaline
batteries when the Battery Type is set to “rechargeable.” On the oth-
er hand, NiCad batteries may be damaged—they can lose their “re-
chargeability”—if they are discharged to the TSG 95 threshold for
disposable batteries. Be sure to select the correct Battery Type.
Preventive Maintenance
Under average conditions, the TSG 95 should receive preventive
maintenance every 2000 hours. This is approximately one year of
operation. Preventive maintenance includes cleaning, visual inspec-
tion, a performance check and, if necessary, calibration. See the Ser-
vice manual for performance verification and adjustment procedures.
CAUTION.
The TSG 95 case is made of molded plastic. Do not allow
water to get inside any enclosed assembly or component. Do not
clean any plastic materials with organic cleaning solvents—benzene,
toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar compounds—because they may
damage the plastic.
