Getting
Started with the 6100-
Gfast
5.1 Turning the Unit On/Off
When you turn the unit on, you may use it immediately
under normal conditions. When the unit is turned off, it
keeps the following parameters in its internal memory:
Setup including application settings, phone and
cable books, and test lead characteristics.
Profiles consisting of:
o
Test parameters
o
User-defined thresholds
Note: Save the current profile before turning the unit
off, or else any changes will be lost. See
on page 26 for more information.
Regional, LCD, and energy-saving settings
Test results saved internally vs. USB
There are two ways to turn off the 6100-Gfast:
Suspend
: the next time you turn your unit on,
you will quickly return to your work
environment.
Shutdown
: completely cuts power to the unit;
the unit will perform a complete restart routine
the next time you use it. You should perform a
shutdown if you do not intend to use your unit
for a few hours or more.
To turn the unit on:
Press
to start. The unit initializes for a few seconds
and displays the
Home
pane.
To enter suspend mode:
Press
for about 2 seconds. The 6100-Gfast will
stay in suspend mode for 2 hours, after which it will
automatically shut down. This prevents complete
battery discharge and ensures maximum battery
performance.
To perform a shutdown:
Hold down
for at least 4 seconds. The shutdown
process starts.
Note: In both previous cases, if the power adapter is
connected, the 6100-Gfast will simulate either a
fake suspend or fake shutdown in order to
facilitate the charger.
Note: If you hold
down for 12 seconds or more, the
6100-Gfast may reset the date and time to
incorrect values. Once the unit is powered back
on, an Invalid Date and Time dialogue box will
pop up displaying
The unit date and time are
probably invalid. (1/1/2006 12:00:25 PM)

Please update the date and time as described in
on page 14 to ensure the delivery
of all the functionality the unit has to offer.
