Attached
to
the
instrument
is
a
serial
number
plate.
The
serial
number
is
in
the
form:
OOOOAOOOOO.
It
is
in
two
parts;
the
first
four
digits
and
the
letter
are
the
serial
prefix
and
the
last
five
digits
are
the
suffix.
The
prefix
is
the
same
for
all
identical
instruments;
it
changes
only
when
a
change
is
made
to
the
instrument.
The
suffix
however,
is
assigned
sequentially
and
is
different
for
each
instrument.
The
contents
of
this

listed
under

The
procedures
for
using
supervisory
signaling,
and
for
making
the
transmission
impairment
urements,
are
described
in
Section
lil
of
this
manual.
Supervisory
signaling
is
used
to
detect
or
change
the
state
or
condition
of
a
subscriber
or
ork
line.
There
are
two
supervisory
conditions;
on-hook
and
off-hook.
The
on-hook
condition
en
the
telephone
is
idle.
That
is
the
handset
is
resting
on
the
cradle
and
the
grounding
switch
is
-
Off-hook
condition
is
when
the
telephone
is
active.
That
is
when
the
handset
is
removed
from
radle
and
the
grounding
switch
is
closed.
..
These
on-hook
and
off-hook
conditions
provide
circuit
indications
such
as
circuit
idle,
circuit
,
seizure,
and
disconnect,
}.
The
HP
4937A
can
perform
the
following
supervisory
signaling
functions:
1.

BATTERY
OPERATION
(Option
001)
1-26,
instruments
with
Option
001
have
nickel-cadmium
batteries
that
enable
the
HP
4937A
to
operate
from
internal
power
when
in
areas
where
ac
power
is
not
available.
Typical
operating
time
is
S
hours
when
the
batteries
are
fully
charged.
The
batteries
are
trickle
charged
whenever
the
instru¬
ment
is
connected
to
an
ac
power
source
and
the
POWER
switch
is
in
the
STBY
position.
1-27,
Regular
discharge/charge
cycles
are
recommended
to
maintain
maximum
battery
capacity.
The
instrument
should
be
operated
until
the
batteries
are
discharged
(when
LOW
BATTERY
indicator
is
displayed
in
the
left
display)
then
recharged,
at
least
every
30
days.
Normal
recharge
time
is
about
14
hours.
Typical
battery
life
under
norma!
operating
conditions
should
be
at
least
100
char¬
ge/discharge
cycles.
Note
Batteries
do
not
charge
when
the
HP
4937A
is
operating
from
an
ac
source.

This

However,
there

At
