NOTE:
The IDS menu will exit if no key on the keypad is pressed after 10 seconds. If this
occurs, and you wish to re-access the menu, simply press any of the keys on the keypad,
provided that the IDS is not actively performing a task (the yellow LED is illuminated), except
for when the instrument’s battery is charging.
7.3. LED and Alarm Signals
The IDS contains LED lights and an alarm to provide you with feedback about the activities on
the IDS. The LEDs (green, yellow, and red) will light alone or in combination depending on the
status of the IDS. The status of lit LEDs is explained below.
Green LED only - Indicates that the IDS is fully charged and available for use.
Yellow LED only - Indicates that the IDS is busy.
Green and yellow LEDs - Indicate that the IDS is currently charging.
Red LED only - Indicates that the IDS is unavailable due to an error or a problem.
NOTE:
Never dock or undock an instrument while the yellow LED is illuminated (IDS is busy),
except when the instrument battery is charging (both yellow and green LEDs are lit).
The alarm is used to indicate a problem with the IDS. For example, if an instrument is removed
from the IDS before a calibration is complete, an alarm will sound.
The LEDs and alarm work in combination with the LCD display to indicate the status of the IDS.
Below is a series of tables that show possible LCD display, LED and alarm combinations when
the IDS is in various states.
