Batteries & Power
Each SIGNALTEK handset is powered by four AA batteries.
Alkaline batteries are included. User supplied NiMH or NiCd
rechargeable batteries may be used in either handset.
The optional AC-DC power supply may be used to power the
handsets for extended periods of time.
If using rechargeable batteries, they must be charged in an
external charger. The Gigabit transceiver in the handsets draws a
considerable amount of power when performing cable tests,
therefore high-capacity NiMH batteries are recommended. Battery
capacities of 2300-2500mAh will provide the best runtime between
charges.
Note: The power input port is only used to provide
power to the handsets. It will not charge batteries
that are installed in the handsets. This is a safety
feature as accidental charging of alkaline batteries
can cause the batteries to rupture, possibly
damaging the instrument or causing bodily harm.
SIGNALTEK consumes power even when turned off. When not
used for several days it is recommended that the batteries be
removed from the handset to prevent accidental drain. As an
alternative, a small piece of paper or plastic can be inserted
between one of the batteries and an electrical contact to break the
electrical circuit.
Alkaline batteries can leak when left in an
electrical device for an extended period of time.
This can cause damage to the electrical circuits in
SIGNALTEK. Please take the actions above to
prevent damage to your tester.
SIGNALTEK’s battery life indicator is calibrated for standard
alkaline (1.5 volt) cells. Using rechargeable batteries will cause the
