Checking the Battery Status
The battery status icon (
) near the upper-right
corner of the tester’s main screens shows the battery’s
charge level. The smart remote’s LEDs show the smart
remote’s battery status at the end of the power-up cycle,
as shown in Figure 1-5.
To see more information about battery status:
1 On the main Autotest screen, verify that the media
type is set to Twisted Pair. Press
J Change Media
to change it if necessary.
2 Connect the tester and smart remote as shown in
Figure 1-5. You may also connect the testers through
a link.
3 Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
4 Use
D to highlight Battery Status; then press
H.
The Time Remaining value tells you approximately
how long the main tester’s battery will last based on
the last 3 minutes of use.
The accuracy of the battery gauge may drift over time. If
the battery status information seems incorrect, reset the
battery gauge as described in Chapter 9.
