Battery Holder
The plastic battery holder that comes with the
965DSP uses six “AA” alkaline batteries (alkaline
batteries are not included).
Use alkaline batteries only when the NiMH battery
pack is discharged and the AC adapter is not
available. Typical lifetime of the alkaline battery
pack is twenty hours of normal use (less if you
use the backlight frequently, use the optional /SA
or /ADSL features heavily, or work in very cold
weather). There is no battery icon displayed if
alkaline batteries are installed.
Note: The battery holder has protection against
accidental charging of alkaline batteries.
The alkaline battery pack is installed the same way
as the NiMH battery pack.
AC Charger
Use the AC charger to charge the NiMH Battery
pack. Plug the AC cord into the AC charger and into
a power outlet. Plug the DC cord into the 965DSP.
Make sure that the key on the plug fits properly
into the slot in the connector.
The AC charger is
meant for charging the NiMH battery pack only.
Do not use the AC charger to power the 965DSP
during normal operations.
DC Charger
Use the Cigarette Lighter Adapter to charge the
NiMH battery pack from a vehicle’s battery.
This
adapter is meant for charging the NiHM battery
pack only and should not be used to power the
965DSP during normal operations.
IR Port
The IR Port at the top of the 965DSP is used for
downloading new software or uploading test results
or TDR traces to a PC or printer. A separate IR
adapter cable is available as an option for each
application. Refer to ‘Stored Results’ (page 30) for
directions to print or upload results.
