General Information

This section provides general instructions on how to use the XL fiberTOOLS
instruments.
If circumstances require that the instruments be serviced and maintained
in-house, contact Greenlee for technical assistance.

Battery Installation or Replacement

All XL fiberTOOLS instruments are powered by two AA-size 1.5 volt alkaline
batteries. Two batteries are shipped with the instruments and must be
installed before the units can be used.
Note: Regular zinc-carbon batteries are not recommended for use in XL
fiberTOOLS instruments. Use of such batteries, often marked "heavy duty,"
will shorten the operating time.
Operating times for the XL fiberTOOLS instruments covered in this manual
are listed in the "Specifications" section.
LED and Laser Sources
One of the front panel LED indicators will blink when the batteries are low.
The instrument may continue to be operated until the front panel LED shuts
off. However, the light output may become unstable after the power drops
past this "low battery" threshold.
Optical Power Meters
Low battery status is indicated by a "B" annunciator appearing in the upper
left-hand corner of the LCD screen. After the "B" appears, the unit may be
operated for a minimum of five hours before the batteries are depleted.
