Maintenance

Troubleshooting

Operator maintenance or service is limited to battery and fuse replacement. Any other required service must be performed at at an authorized Bird Service Center.

Refer to the following paragraphs for help in isolating error conditions.

The Antenna Tester will not power up.

Power for the Antenna Tester can be provided in three ways—the internal batteries, an AC mains adapter or an optional automobile cigarette lighter adapter. Try to power the tester using each available means. The internal batteries may need charged, or if recently replaced, are installed incorrectly. The AC mains adapter may not be securely connected, may be damaged, or there is no power supplied at the wall receptacle. The internal fuse may have opened and requires replacement.

If the unit was recently opened, recheck P2, the battery connector, be sure it is securely connected. Follow the instructions for battery and fuse replacement when opening the unit.

NVRAM Test Fails

An NVRAM error indicates the information in nonvolatile RAM, a type of memory, is not valid. The probable cause is power was lost. When the unit is off, the batteries, if charged and present, or power from the AC mains adapter, if connected, supply power to retain stored trace data and software settings. This information is lost if all power is removed. Clear the error by pressing the ESC key. Be sure to read battery charging and replacement sections if the problem persists.
