Turning the Instrument On and Off
To turn the EtherScope Network Assistant on, press the
green On/Off button. This button is located on the right
side of the instrument’s front panel.
The front page Test Results screen is displayed (see Figure
6 or Figure 24).
Note
When you turn on the instrument (wired mode
only), you may hear a series of clicks. These
sounds are a normal part of the boot-up and
cable testing process and do not indicate a
problem with the instrument.
To turn off the instrument, press and hold the On/Off
button until the instrument turns off (approximately two
seconds). The
On/Off
LED will blink when the instrument
is turned off and connected to the AC adapter charger
indicating that the battery is charging.
