Safety Summary
To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specified.
To Avoid Fire or Personal Injury
Ground the product. For safe operation, the oscilloscope
chassis must remain at earth ground potential even when
operating from battery power. This protection is provided when
you attach the Tektronix- supplied grounding wire from the
terminal on the rear panel of the oscilloscope to earth ground.
If you use a different grounding wire, it must be 18 gauge or
larger.
Recharge battery properly. Recharge the battery pack only
for the recommended charge cycle at the recommended
temperature.
Use proper battery charger. Use only the TDS3CHG charger or
the TDS3000, TDS3000B, and TDS3000C series oscilloscope
to charge the TDS3BATC Lithium-Ion battery pack.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product
with covers or panels removed.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect there is
damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions
in the TDS3000, TDS3000B, or TDS3000C Series Oscilloscope
User Manual for details on installing the product so it has
proper ventilation.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

Battery Recycling
This TDS3BATC Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack must
be recycled or disposed of properly.
Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to disposal and recycling
regulations that vary by country and region. Always check
and follow your applicable regulations before disposing
of any battery. Contact Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (www.rbrc.org) for U.S.A. and Canada, or
your local battery recycling organization.
Many countries prohibit the disposal of waste electronic
equipment in standard waste receptacles.
Place only discharged batteries in a battery collection
container. Use electrical tape or other approved covering
over the battery connection points to prevent short circuits.
This symbol indicates that this product complies
with the applicable European Union requirements
according to Directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EC
on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE) and batteries. For information about
recycling options, check the Support/Service section
of the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com).
Transporting Lithium-Ion Batteries
The capacity of the Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack in
this product is under 100 Wh. The lithium-equivalent content,
as defined by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Part III
Section 38.3, is under 8 g per pack and 1.5 g per individual cell.
Always check all applicable local, national, and
international regulations before transporting a Lithium-Ion
battery.
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery
may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
Description
The TDS3BATC battery pack is for use with TDS3000,
TDS3000B, and TDS3000C series oscilloscopes. The
14.4 VDC battery pack consists of an array of Lithium-Ion
battery cells.
Firmware Requirements
The firmware in your TDS3000 or TDS3000B series
oscilloscope must be Version 3.26 or above for the battery
gauge ( ) to work properly. All firmware versions in the
TDS3000C series include the gauge.
You can download the latest version of the instrument firmware
from the Tektronix Web site at www.tektronix.com.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Raise the handles on each side of the battery pack and use
them to pull the battery pack out of the oscilloscope.
Battery Maintenance Guidelines
The TDS3BATC Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack
requires routine maintenance and care in its use and handling.
Be sure to follow these guidelines to safely use TDS3BATC
Lithium-Ion batteries and achieve the maximum battery life
span.
Battery Pack Considerations
Do not leave a battery unused for an extended period of time,
either in the product or in storage. When a battery has been
unused for six months, check the charge status, and charge or
dispose of the battery as appropriate. See Charging the Battery
Pack and Battery Recycling.
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two
to three years, or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs
first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to
fully discharged, and fully recharged again. You should use a
two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run
through complete charge cycles.
A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has a limited life and
will gradually lose its capacity to hold a charge. This loss of
capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity,
the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases.
A Lithium-Ion battery continues to slowly discharge
(self-discharge) when not in use or while in storage. You need
to routinely check the charge status of the battery.
Use only TDS3BATC battery packs in your TDS3000,
TDS3000B, and TDS3000C series oscilloscope.
Maintaining the Battery Pack
Observe and note the run time that a new fully-charged
battery provides for powering your product. You can
use this new battery run time as a basis to compare run
times for older batteries. The run time of your battery
will vary depending on the product's configuration and
the applications that you run.
Routinely check the charge status of the battery.
Carefully monitor a battery that is approaching the end
of its estimated life.
Consider replacing the battery with a new one if the battery
run time drops below about 80% of the original run time,
or the battery charge time increases significantly.
Follow the storage requirements if you store or do not use
a battery for an extended period. If you do not follow
the storage requirements, and the battery will not power
the oscilloscope when installed, you should consider the
battery to be damaged. Do not connect AC power to the
oscilloscope during this time. Remove the battery pack
from the oscilloscope. Do not attempt to recharge it or to
use it. Replace it with a new battery.
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).
You do not need to continuously charge (trickle charge) Li-Ion
battery packs to maintain full operating capacity between jobs.
However, a Lithium-Ion battery pack will self-discharge during
non-use. To achieve the longest operating time, charge your
battery pack before use. If you plan to store battery packs, read
the specific instructions to do this.
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 pack, run the
oscilloscope on the battery pack only when the gauge
indicates sufficient charge.
To ensure the accuracy of the gauge, occasionally allow
the oscilloscope to run on the battery pack until automatic
shutdown occurs.
NOTE.
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.
Configuration Typical charging time
Battery pack charging in an 32 hours
oscilloscope with the oscilloscope
turned on or off
Battery pack charging with the 6 hours
TDS3CHG external charger
CAUTION.
To avoid damage to the battery 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. For optimum performance, charge the battery pack
completely before using it for the first time or after prolonged
storage.
