Level of risk: As the AR-STV operates with a 6 V DC power source, there is little chance of serious injury as long as common sense is applied. Observe the polarity of connections if using an external battery charger. DC input is a nominal 6V DC, with the connector wired center conductor positive.
2-1 Front panel The front panel of the AR-STV is dominated by the large color LCD. On the top right corner of the AR-STV, there is a red LED marked as “STA” (Status). The LED blinks while in the search mode.
