Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack charges automatically when the
oscilloscope is connected to line power. For a
more efficient charge, use the optional external
charger (TDS3CHG).
When the battery pack is in the oscilloscope, the
gauge icon ( ) on the display indicates the
amount of charge.
To avoid automatic shutdown of the battery
S
pack, run the oscilloscope on the battery pack
only when the gauge indicates sufficient
charge.
To ensure the accuracy of the gauge, occasion-
S
ally allow the oscilloscope to run on the bat-
tery pack until automatic shutdown occurs.
The TDS3CHG external charger may

increase the available charge and reset the
gauge to a higher level. Subsequent charges
using the oscilloscope may indicate less than
a full charge.

pack, use only the oscilloscope or the
TDS3CHG battery charger to charge the
battery pack. Do not connect any other
voltage source to the battery pack.
NOTE. Charge the battery pack completely
before using it for the first time or after
prolonged storage.
To discharge the battery pack completely, continue
to run the oscilloscope on the battery pack until
automatic shutdown occurs.
NOTE.
and to prevent shutdown, do not operate or
charge the battery pack at high
temperatures. For best results, allow the
battery pack to cool to room temperature
before using or charging the battery pack.
The battery pack stops charging under the
following conditions:
The battery pack is fully charged.
S
The battery pack temperature exceeds the
S
operating temperature specification in the
table below.
The battery pack shuts down and disconnects
itself from the TDS3000 series oscilloscope under
the following conditions:
The battery pack is fully discharged.
S
There is a fault current that exceeds 5 A for
S
longer than 32 ms.
Calibrating the Battery Gauge
It is recommended that you perform this
procedure:
For all new batteries before using the battery.
S
On the TDS3BATC every 45 days during its
S
useful service life.
To calibrate the battery gauge, follow these steps:
1. Completely discharge the battery through the
oscilloscope.
2. Charge the battery fully the first time either on
the oscilloscope (TDS3000) for 36 hours or
on the external charger (TDS3CHG) for 7
hours. If you use the external charger, then
you can charge the battery until the luminous
indicator on the external charger turns off.
3. Operate the oscilloscope with the battery until
the battery is completely discharged (the
oscilloscope turns off).
NOTE.
oscilloscope during this time.
The battery gauge is now calibrated and should
accurately indicate the level of charge in the
TDS3BATC.
