Status  Indicator

, which ap-

pears in the screen’s top 
left corner,

 

lets you know 

the status and charge 
level of the analyzer’s 6 1.5 V 
batteries. The X shown in the 
fi gure shows that the tester is 
powered by the battery you’re 
testing to conserve the internal 
batteries. 

Press the two 

Soft Keys

 linked 

to the bottom of the screen to 
perform the functions displayed 
above them. The functions 
change depending on the menu 
or test process. So it may be 
helpful to think of the words 
appearing above them as part 
of the keys. Some of the more 
common soft-key functions are 
SELECT, BACK, and END.

When you connect the tester 
to a battery it functions as a 
voltmeter. The 
voltage read-
ing appears above the left soft 
key until you move to other 
menus or functions.

In some cases, you can use 
the 

Alphanumeric Keypad

 to 

enter numerical test parameters 
instead of scrolling to them with 
the 

ARROW 

keys.

You’ll also use the Alphanu-
meric Keys to create and edit 
customer coupons. The keypad 
includes characters for punctua-
tion. To add a space, press the 

RIGHT 

and 

LEFT ARROW

 keys 

simultaneously.

The 

Selection Area 

below the 

Title Bar 

contains items you se-

lect or into which you enter infor-
mation. The area also displays 
instructions and warnings.

The 

Directional Arrows

 on the 

display show you which 

Arrow 

Keys

 to press to move to other 

icons or screens. The Up 

and Down Directional 

Arrows, for example, let 

you know to press the 

UP

 and 

DOWN ARROW 

keys to display the screens that  
are above and below the current 
screen. 

The Left and Right Directional 
Arrows let you know to use the 

LEFT

 or 

RIGHT ARROW 

keys 

to highlight an icon for selection.

Another navigational aid is the 

Scroll Bar

 along the right side 

of the screen. The position of its 
scroll box tells you which menu 
screen you’re viewing.

The 

Title Bar

 shows you the 

name of the current menu, test 
tool, utility, or function.

Press the 

POWER

 button to turn 

the Tester on and off. The Tes-
ter also turns on automatically 
when you connect its test leads 
to a battery.

Whichever way you turn on the 
Tester, it always highlights the 
icon and setting you last used 
for your convenience.
