3.6 Connecting a Power Supply and Turning It On/Off
Using a NiMH (Nickel-Hydrogen) Battery Pack (Optional Accessory)
●
Handling Precautions
Observe the following cautionary notes when handling the dedicated NiMH
battery pack.
Specifications
Voltage :
7.2V
Capacity : 2100mAh
Number of times can be changed (life cycle) :
Approx. 300times (varies with the operating environment)
WARNING
• Since the electrolyte solution inside the battery pack is alkaline, it may damage any clothing or
skin it comes into contact with due to a leakage from or rapture in the battery pack. In particu-
lar, if the solution enters an eye it may cause loss of eyesight. Therefore in such a case, thor-
oughly wash the affected eye with clean water immediately. Then, receive treatment from a
doctor right away.
• When replacing the NiMH battery pack, be sure to turn off the power switch of the CW140 meter
and remove the power cord from the outlet to avoid possible danger, such as a short in the
electric circuit or electrical shock.
• Do not use any other battery pack than the manufacturer-supplied NiMH battery pack (part
number: 94004).
• Do not leave the NiMH battery pack in a place that is subject to strong direct sunlight, inside a
vehicle under a blazing sun, or near a fire. Doing so may cause a solution leakage, or deterio-
ration in the performance and/or the service life of the battery pack.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. Doing so may damage the protective proper-
ties of the battery pack and cause it to heat up and rapture.
• Do not short the battery electrodes, as this may cause burns due to the battery pack heating
up.
• Do not place the battery pack into a fire or apply heat to it. Doing so is dangerous, as there is
a risk that it will rupture, scattering electrolyte solution.
• Do not apply excessive shock to the battery pack, for example, by throwing it. Doing so may
cause solution leakage, battery pack heating, or a rapture.
• Refrain from using a defective battery pack, such as one with leaking solution, a deformation,
discoloring or any other abnormality.
• Avoid any metal coming into contact with the battery pack when carrying it, as there is the
danger of a short occurring.
• Do not immerse the battery pack in water or make it wet, as this may cause it to heat up or rust,
as well as lead to a loss of functions.
• If the battery pack is not used for a prolonged period, remove it from the CW140 main unit and
store it in the following environment:
Storage period of 1 year or less:
Temperature of –20°C to 35°C
(in a place with low humidity)
Storage period of 3 months or less: Temperature of –20°C to 45°C
(in a place with low humidity)
