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, retrain the
battery gauge as described in Chapter 13.
