4.  OSCILLATOR OPERATION 

4.1.  OSCILLATOR POWER UP 

Inserting the test lead into to the OSCILLATOR’s socket initiates 
the OSCILLATOR power up cycle. 
 
The OSCILLATOR flashes all six of its lights (LEDS) once 
simultaneously (< 0.5sec) to indicate that the leads have been 
correctly inserted and battery power is present.  The OSCILLATOR 
then performs a battery level check and displays the battery strength 
in the form of a light array bar graph.  Maximum battery capacity 
displays all six lights but if the battery is nearly flat and needs 
replacing, only one light is displayed (See figures 4-1a, 4-1b, 4-1c).  
If no lights are displayed then the battery voltage is insufficient for 
any operation and should be replaced.

After indicating the battery level the OSCILLATOR enters TONE 
mode.  The light next to the        symbol will flash every 3 seconds 
indicating that the OSCILLATOR is on and generating a tone 
signal. 
 
The factory default tone is referred to as the Warble.  This is the 
tone that will be heard coming from the PROBE when using the 
OSCILLATOR in TONE mode for the first time.  Three other tones 
are available and can be selected using the PROBE (refer to section 
5.3 TONES). 
 

4.2.  OSCILLATOR POWER OFF 

Removing the OSCILLATOR’s test lead from the socket 
immediately turns off the OSCILLATOR. 
 

4.3.  CABLE SHORT CIRCUIT DETECTION 

When this feature is enabled, the OSCILLATOR can be used for 
confirming traces over short distances without using a PROBE.
