Care of your NaviTEK NT
Although light and portable, NaviTEK NT is robust and has been designed to operate in a
protected outdoor working environment.
To ensure reliable operation:
•Avoid very high or low temperatures - NaviTEK NT is designed to operate between 0°C
and +40°C, although you should only charge the battery between +10°C and +30°C.
You can store the unit safely between -20°C and +70°C.
•To avoid damage, we recommend that you keep NaviTEK NT in its carrying case when
you are not using it.
•Do not use solvents, strong detergents or abrasive materials to clean NaviTEK NT. Use
only cleaning agents approved for use on ABS and polycarbonate plastics.
Final Disposal
When your NaviTEK NT has reached the end of its life you must dispose of the complete unit
in accordance with local environmental regulations.
Safety Information
When using NaviTEK NT, always take basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons. These include the following:
•When connecting to the line, special care must be taken as high voltages may be
present on the line and there may be a danger of electrocution.
•Avoid using the tester during an electrical storm - there is a remote risk of electric
shock by lightning.
•Use only the mains electricity adaptor supplied with your NaviTEK NT.
Connector Safety
The following connectors conform to EN60950 SELV safety status:
•RJ-45 Ethernet port.
•USB port.
•DC inlet port.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS
NETWORK TO ANY OF THE TESTER’S PORTS

Power
NaviTEK NT can be powered from:
•A rechargeable power module,
•Directly from power connected to the DC inlet built in to the power module.
•From an alkaline battery pack.
The type of module or pack supplied as standard depends on the model purchased.
Power Module Management
A fully charged power module will support up to five hours of heavy, continuous use. For
maximum life of the power module it is recommended to discharge it fully and then recharge
it fully at least once a month.
The power module is not user-serviceable. When it has reached the end of its life, contact
your local IDEAL representative for service.
Power Module Recharging
The power module can be fully recharged in three hours with the NaviTEK NT switched ON or
OFF. To recharge the power module, connect the supplied power adaptor to the DC inlet.
For convenience the power module may be removed from, or left attached to, the tester for
charging. The Power LED next to the DC inlet glows green to show that the battery is being
charged, and flashes green to show that it is not being charged. The power module’s charge
state is indicated at FULL, 2/3, 1/3 and EMPTY by the graphical power meter shown in the
information bar at the top of the display.
Fig 1 Power indications
Battery Pack
The battery pack accepts four replaceable AA alkaline cells. These cells cannot be recharged.

Switching ON and OFF
To switch the tester ON, press and hold the Power button. Wait until the home screen is
visible on the display; the tester is ready for use.
To switch the tester OFF, press and hold the Power for approximately 1/2 second, a shutdown
message is displayed on the screen. The currently stored setup is saved.
Power Saving
Power saving preferences are selected from SETUP>SYSTEM>PREF. Auto off can be Disabled
(tester remains ON indefinitely), or set to switch the tester OFF after three, 10 or 30 minutes
of inactivity. The backlight can be set to Always On, or to dim to 50% brightness after three
minutes of inactivity. Note that when mains power is connected the display is always on full
brightness and the tester remains ON indefinitely.
Master Reset
In the unlikely event of a system lock-up which prevents the tester from being switched OFF,
it may be necessary to perform a master reset. This will not delete any stored data.
•Remove the power module or battery pack to access a small aperture in the NaviTEK
NT (Fig 2).
•Insert a paper clip into the reset hole and press the internal reset switch.
Fig 2
•Replace the power module or battery pack.
