Charging batteries
Charging batteries
Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Following a long storage period, it
can be necessary to charge and discharge the battery several times to reach full
capacity.
When charging the battery, observe the following:
●
For charging, use only the R&S
EVSG1000 or the R&S
®
FSV-B34 battery charger
(1321.3950.02).
●
If the instrument is connected to the provided AC/DC power supply connector or to
an external DC power supply with more than 12
V
DC, the internal battery is auto-
matically charged, regardless whether the instrument is switched on or off.
●
Charge in a constant ambient temperature range from +0
°C to +40
°C.
If the battery temperature rises above +53
°C, charging is interrupted until the tem-
perature drops below +45
°C. Large temperature variations can also cause the
charger to be switched off too early.
●
Try not to overcharge the battery too often because overcharging reduces the ser-
vice life of the battery.
●
Discharge in a temperature range from -10
°C to +45
°C.
When the battery is being charged, the Power LED blinks. During operation, the status
bar also indicates that the battery is being charged. See
