The beeper alerts you to important operating and measurement conditions. It
beeps any time a message is displayed at the top of the screen. These messages
warn you of conditions such as exceeding the RF input level or trying to set a field
to an unacceptable value. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable the
beeper.
1. Access the CONFIGURE screen.
2. The current time setting is shown under the Low Battery field.
3. Select that field to display a list of setting choices.
• Select the desired time, or
• Select Disable to eliminate the low-battery warning.
The low-battery warning system is used to alert you when you have not used any
front-panel controls within a specified amount of time. This setting is only used
with DC power. It does not actually monitor the DC supply voltage. Since
batteries are most often used for a DC supply, this function helps you conserve
power by reminding you that the Test Set is still turned on.
When the specified time has elapsed between front-panel entries, the Beeper
sounds and a message appears at the top of the screen alerting you to the
condition.
This setting is saved when the instrument is turned off.
