Chapter 2: Overview
Voltmeter
When you first connect the analyzer to a battery it
functions as a voltmeter. The voltage reading appears
above the left soft key until you move to other menus or
functions.
Soft Keys
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.
POWER Key
Press the POWER button to turn the analyzer on and
off. The analyzer also turns on automatically when you
connect its test leads to a battery.
Internal Batteries Status Indicator
This indicator appears in the screen’s top left corner, lets you
know the status and charge level of the analyzer’s six 1.5-volt
batteries. The X in the top left corner of the screen shows
that the analyzer is powered by the battery you’re testing
to conserve the analyzer’s internal batteries.
Selection Area
The selection area below the Title Bar contains selectable
items or dialog boxes that display information or require
a response.
Menu Screen Arrows
When displayed in menu screens, the menu screen arrows
show you which ARROW key on the keypad to press to
display other icons or screens. The Up and Down Menu
Screen Arrows, for example, indicate when to press the
or
keys to display the screens above and below the
current screen.
The Left and Right Menu Screen Arrows tell you when to
use the
or
keys to select an icon.
When displayed under a list of options, the menu screen
arrows show you which keypad arrow to press to highlight
a character or item in a list.
Scroll Bar
Another navigational aid is the scroll bar on the right side
of the screen. The position of its scroll box shows you
whether the screen is the top (or only screen), middle, or
last in a series.

Data Entry Methods
To perform a particular test or function, the tester requires
different types of information. This means that the methods
you use to enter information will change depending on the
type of information requested. The five types of entry methods
are described below.
Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen
confirms your choice, although the command above it may
vary. (Examples: SELECT, NEXT, and SAVE.) In a similar
fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen cancels
your choice or returns you to the previous screen, although
the word above it may also vary. (Examples: BACK and END.)
Menu Icons
A menu icon is a graphical
representation of a function you
can select, such as the Battery test
Icon in the Main Menu. To select
an icon, use
or
to highlight
it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture on a black
background. To confirm your selection, press the appropriate
soft key.
Option Buttons
Some lists have option buttons
before each item. To select an
item, use
or
to move the dot
to the button next to the item. To
confirm your selection, press the
appropriate soft key.
Scrolling Lists
Scrolling lists contain items that
extend above and below the
screen. The first number above the
right soft key indicates the position
in the list of the highlighted item.
The second number above the
right soft key indicates the number of items in the list
.
To select an item, press
or
to highlight the item and press
the appropriate soft key.
