Replacing the Battery
Replace the lithium ion battery pack when its life becomes
noticeably shorter. The battery is normally good for up to
400 charge/discharge cycles.
/
Note
Dispose of the lithium ion battery pack in
accordance with local regulations.
An internal lithium battery maintains the tester’s clock
and other settings when you remove the battery pack.
This battery typically lasts about 5 years. When the battery
begins to fail, the tester will lose the current date and
time when you remove the battery pack. If the lithium
battery fails, send the tester to a Fluke Networks service
center for a replacement.
Cleaning
Clean the display with glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol
and a soft, lint-free cloth. Clean the case with a soft cloth
dampened with water or water and a mild soap.
W
Caution
To avoid damaging the display or the case, do
not use solvents or abrasive cleansers.
Storage
•
Before storing the tester or an extra battery for an
extended period, charge the battery to between
70 % and 90 % of full charge (2 or 3 LEDs lit on the
battery’s gauge). Check the battery every 4 months
and recharge if necessary.
•
Keep a battery attached to the tester during storage.
Removing the battery for long periods shortens the
life of the lithium battery that maintains the clock.

See “Environmental and Regulatory Specifications”
on page 102 for storage temperatures.
