Icon Description
Polarity When the test set is connected to a line with DC voltage, one of the two Polarity icons
indicates the DC polarity of the line. The plus (+) icon indicates the red test lead is
connected to the Ring (negative) side of the line and the black test lead is connected
to the Tip (positive) side of the line. The minus (-) icon indicates the test leads are
reversed; that is, with the red test lead connected to the Tip (positive) side and with
the black test lead connected to the Ring (negative) side. Nothing is shown when the
leads are disconnected or the line is not powered.
Battery Battery icons indicate the battery status. The lowest battery level icon is accompanied
by a short beeping sound. When this battery icon appears, you have approximately
15-20 seconds of operating time left before the test set automatically powers off.
Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on the low battery condition.
Battery full The charging screen is displayed when batteries are being charged (4 to 5 hours to
charge when batteries are completely dead). When charging is complete, the full
charge icon (F) is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the LCD display.
