3.5.1 When to change battery
Replace the battery before expiry date. The battery pack, X-80242, has a shelf
life of 4 years.
If Tron AIR is indicating low voltage during a regular test procedure, also
change the battery. The TX LED also flashes when battery voltage is low.
3.5.2 Special care
The battery pack, X-80242, is of high-energy lithium type, and some
precautions must be taken.

To prevent the possibility of being in an emergency situation with a Tron
AIR equipped with a used battery, we strongly recommend storing an extra

3.5.3 Using the Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) Battery
Tron AIR can be delivered with a rechargeable NiCad battery, type
93003/93030 (850mAh/400mAh), which is equipped with two connectors
for charging with Tron CHARGE.
These battery are specially designed for On-Board communication.
After recharging the battery, it can be used in the same way as the primary
battery unit. However, the voltage of Nickel-Cadmium batteries drops
rapidly just before they are exhausted, so when the transmit indicator LED
(TX) goes out, be sure to immediately stop using it, and recharge the
batteries again.
When changing the batteries, see chapter 3.4 how to change the battery.
