Setup

Installing Battery in Splicer

The FSP200 can be powered by an external power adapter and battery. 

Inserting the Battery

Remove the protective cover from the battery contacts. Insert the battery into the battery compartment until it clicks into place.

Removing the Battery

Turn off the splicer. Push the release button, located on the side of the splicer body, and remove the battery.

Two Methods of Checking Remaining Battery Capacity

• 

If the battery is already installed in the splicer, turn the splicer ON. The battery is automatically identified, and the

  remaining battery capacity is displayed on the “Ready” screen.

• Press the battery check button on the battery pack. The remaining battery capacity is indicated on the LED indicator.
