Updating the Limits or Cable Types Database
Fluke Networks may release a test limits or cable types
database that is not part of a software update. To install a
new database in your tester, use the Modify DTX Test
Limits utility in LinkWare software. See the LinkWare
online help for details.
Retraining the Battery Gauge
The accuracy of the battery gauge may drift over time if
the battery is frequently recharged before being fully
discharged. Retraining the battery gauge restores its
accuracy.
Retraining can take 17 to 30 hours. The time is shorter if
you start with the batteries discharged.
To retrain the battery gauge:
1 Connect the main and remote testers together using a
permanent link adapter and a channel adapter, or two
channel adapters or two coaxial adapters and a patch
cord.
2 Connect the ac adapters to the main and remote
testers. Turn on both testers.
3 Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS; then
select Battery Status. Verify that both the main and
remote battery gauges are shown. If the remote
gauge is missing, check the connections between the
two units.
4 Press  Train Battery.
To abort the retraining, hold down the power key ()
on the main and remote testers until they turn off.
5 Retraining is complete when the testers have turned
off and the LED by the ac adapter connection is green.
