Function keys
1. SIGNAL – Show the signal strength of each tool.
2. ADDRESS – Show the address of each tool
3. BATTERY – Shows the battery level of each tool, if available. Not all tools report battery
level.
4. HOLDING / TOOLS – Toggles between showing main tools and holding tools.
The Tool Status screen shows the status of the tools learned into the unit. This screen shows the
signal strength of the last packet from the tool but can also show the radio address and battery
level of the tools. Press ESC to return to the Unit Status screen.
For signal strength, a less negative number indicates a better signal (-50 dBm is better than -60
dBM). The screen shows a color based on the quality of the signal.
•
Green – The signal from this radio is strong and will work at best performance.
•
Yellow – The signal from the radio is weaker than recommended for best performance. The
radio should work but may have slower or occasionally interrupted communication with the
unit.
•
Red – The signal from the radio is weaker than recommended for any use. The radio may
successfully transmit some results but will frequently have slow or failed communication
with the unit. If only one tool is red, bring it and unit closer together. If multiple tools are
red, consider using a different radio channel (changed from the Unit Setup screen).
•
White – The Global 400mp has not received a packet from the tool since it started up.
For battery level, the charge remaining is shown. Not all tools report their current battery level.
The screen shows a color based on the level.
•
Green – The battery is full and will work at best performance.
•
Yellow – The battery is low and should be changed when possible.
•
Red – The battery is very low and should be changed. The tool may fail to transmit some
results until the battery is changed.
