3.1
INTRODUCTION
This section discusses the tests used to verify performance following repairs or
during routine maintenance. All tests can be performed without removing the
NPB-190 cover. All tests except the battery charge and battery performance tests
must be performed as the last operation before the monitor is returned to the
user.
If the NPB-190 fails to perform as specified in any test, repairs must be made to
correct the problem before the monitor is returned to the user.

PERFORMANCE TESTS
The battery charge procedure should be performed before monitor repairs
whenever possible. It should also be performed before and after performing the
battery performance test (paragraph 3.3.2).

institution has preconfigured custom defaults, those values will be
displayed. Factory defaults can be reset using the configuration
procedure described in paragraph 4.3.3.
