Chapter 3 Installation
The Model 4391A RF Power Analyst is completely portable and very suitable for
field or laboratory use. Its power is derived from rechargeable nickel metal
hydride batteries inside the unit or from an AC outlet via the power cord sup-
plied with the device.
The batteries are shipped in a low charge state. It is, therefore, recommended that
you charge the instrument for 16 hours before using it for continuous operation.
Note: Battery charging at tempertures greater than 46° C (115° F)
can result in reduced operational time.
Operating on AC Power
For AC power operation, the Model 4391A is simply connected to an AC recepta-
cle using the line cord provided. The correct AC voltage is selected via a rear
panel switch (Figure 5). The meter may be operated in this manner with the bat-
teries removed if desired.

CAUTION
Long-term storage of this instrument can affect battery
performance and reduce battery life. Do not store the
instrument for long periods of time without recharging the
batteries (refer to page 18). Failure to comply may result in
reduced battery charge and shortened battery life.
CAUTION
Always be certain the 115/230 voltage selector is set to the
proper voltage before AC power is applied.
