6.4 Battery Replacement
To replace the batteries, remove the OTDR from the protective boot by pulling the bottom of the boot down
and back allowing the bottom of the unit to be lift out. The battery door is located on the back side of the
unit. Replace the batteries with only high quality AA NiMH batteries. Spare battery packs are available with
a charging unit for extended battery operation. If you install NiMH batteries that are dead or less than 1 volt
each, charge these batteries for one (1) hour before using the OTDR. For proper maintenance, batteries require
a monthly recharge.
