Titan Instructions for Use - EN
Operating Titan in Handheld Mode
3.5.1
Startup
The Titan will always start on the previously used protocol Test screen, ready to start a measurement.
When switching on the Titan in handheld mode after disconnecting from a PC, it will start in the Select
Protocol screen and you will have to select which protocol to use next.
3.5.2
Battery
When the Titan battery's power capacity becomes low, the first indication you will see is the battery symbol in
the top right hand corner of the hand held unit change color. When the battery's power level becomes too
low that measurements can no longer be performed, a warning will appear on screen, the measurement will
be stopped and all recorded data will be stored. You will have to turn off the handheld unit and change
battery or place the Titan in the cradle to be able to continue testing. Upon restarting the Titan, the previously
measured data will be recovered and you can continue with your measurements without retesting.
