quickly find and use the right tools at the right time. The
display also keeps you on track with on-screen navigation aids,
directions, and messages. The illustration below shows how
the elements on the screen relate to the keypad.

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 (6) 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.

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.
