3 Battery and Power Management
The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu requires two (7.2V Li-ion)
batteries – one main unit, one remote. Use only JDSU
batteries, (included).
NOTE: Each battery must be fully charged (
8 hours) the
first time it is used to report correct remaining charge
capacity immediately after a full charge. If the battery is
replaced, it is necessary to start a new charge cycle by
either disconnecting the AC adapter momentarily or pressing
the Reset Charge (RST CHRG) soft key (F1) on the
Properties/Battery Info. The batteries in the main unit and
the remote unit are interchangeable.
When powered on, the ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu reports the
charging status at the top of the screen under the battery
icon. A green full battery icon indicates the battery is fully
charged. As the battery discharges, the percentage of
remaining charge is displayed in 10% steps. The battery icon
changes from green to amber when the battery reaches
approximately 30% of its charge capacity.
When the battery is low, the battery icon will change to red
and begin to flash. An audible warning tone will sound when
the battery reaches low to notify the user that in
approximately three minutes, the ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu will
power down automatically and save the current job.
In addition to the charging status, additional information that
is useful to monitor the loss of capacity in the battery over
time is displayed on the Battery Properties screen.

powered off but there is no visual indication. The
ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu has various timeout conditions to
