Lil' Buttie RANGER
voltage is displayed along with the messages "V TOO
HIGH!" "DISCONNECT NOW!!" The test set will display
this message and sound the alarm until the line voltage
returns below 65 volts or the test set times out. When
the voltage drops below 65 volts, the test set will go off
hook if the voltage is in range or return to the low voltage
message as is appropriate.
Note: The test set continuously monitors the current on
the line while it is off hook, and will go on hook auto-
matically if it detects excessive current. This test is done
regardless of the setting of Guard High.
When in either the high or low voltage states, the test
set will time out after about 90 seconds of no change in
status and turn off. The TALK/BELL/MON switch must
be moved to Bell mode and than back to Talk or Monitor
position to turn the test set on after timing out.
4.9.3 Automatic Power-Off
The Ranger has automatic power-off for all functions to
conserve the battery. The MONITOR mode is the Ranger
mode with the highest power consumption. It times out
and powers off in 15 minutes. Because this is a relatively
short period of time, the time remaining is displayed on
36
the screen in minutes. The TALK mode times out in
approximately 60 minutes with CWCID (Call Waiting
Caller ID) OFF and 30 minutes with CWCID ON. Once
the Ranger times out and powers OFF, you'll have to
move its TALK/BELL/MON switch to another position
to wake up the test set.
4.9.4 Battery-State Information
For a short time after you place the Ranger in MONITOR
mode, it displays the approximate percentage of life
remaining in its battery. If the Ranger is displaying Caller
ID information when you switch to MONITOR mode,
it will continue displaying that information for several
seconds before displaying the battery-state information.
4.9.5 Overcurrent Protection
If the Ranger is in TALK mode and senses a current on
the attached phone line in excess of 120 mA, it displays
the current measured and the message "CURRENT
TOO HIGH", then automatically disconnects from the
line. Periodically, the Ranger reconnects for a short
time, measures the current and displays the results, then
disconnects again if the current is still too high.
