To install AA batteries or the battery pack, open the battery compartment of the TSG 95 by pressing down on the cover and sliding it in
the direction of the inscribed arrow, as shown above. When the cover
tabs line up with the slots in the case, lift the cover away from the
instrument. Install batteries in alternating directions as indicated by
the graphic molded into the “floor” of the battery compartment. If
using the optional battery pack, take the time to identify both contacts and install the pack properly.

you recall a preset.

For optimal battery life and capacity, use the rechargeable NiCad
battery pack (Tektronix p/n 119-4488-00) in full charge/discharge
cycles. In other words, fully discharge the battery pack before recharging, and then charge the battery pack until fully charged,
approximately 16 hours. A new battery pack will take a few charge/
discharge cycles to reach full capacity.

Replace the batteries only with standard AA batteries (1.2–1.5 V,
nominal), or with the optional rechargeable battery pack.
Setting the Auto Power Down (page 18) and Battery Type (page 19)
functions in the diagnostic menu also have an impact on battery life.
The battery types are disposable (Alkaline) or rechargeable (NiCad).
Setting the battery type changes the voltage thresholds for both the
BATTERY LOW display message and low-battery shutdown.

The BATTERY LOW Message
The BATTERY LOW Message
The warning “BATTERY LOW” will appear on the second line of
the TSG 95 display when the battery voltage drops below a predetermined level. The level depends on the Battery Type set in the Diagnostic menu (see page 19). The TSG will operate for approximately
ten minutes after the message first appears. For best results, replace
or recharge the batteries when you first see this warning.

Low Battery Shutdown
Low Battery Shutdown
To prevent erratic operation at very low power levels, the TSG 95
will shut itself down if the battery voltage drops below a second,
lower threshold that also depends on the Battery Type setting.

down almost immediately the next time you switch it on. If this happens:

The shutdown threshold is higher for rechargeable batteries than for
disposable. Therefore, you will receive a false BATTERY LOW
message and may experience premature shutdown if using Alkaline
batteries when the Battery Type is set to “rechargeable.” On the other hand, NiCad batteries may be damaged—they can lose their “rechargeability”—if they are discharged to the TSG 95 threshold for
disposable batteries. Be sure to select the correct Battery Type.

Preventive Maintenance
Under average conditions, the TSG 95 should receive preventive
maintenance every 2000 hours. This is approximately one year of
operation. Preventive maintenance includes cleaning, visual inspection, a performance check and, if necessary, calibration. See the Service manual for performance verification and adjustment procedures.

CAUTION. The TSG 95 case is made of molded plastic. Do not allow
water to get inside any enclosed assembly or component. Do not
clean any plastic materials with organic cleaning solvents—benzene,
toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar compounds—because they may
damage the plastic.
