Care of your UniPRO Gbis
Although light and portable, UniPRO Gbis is robust and has been designed
to operate in a protected outdoor working environment.
To ensure reliable operation:
•avoid very high or low temperatures - UniPRO Gbis is designed to
operate between 0°C and +45°C, although you should only charge the
battery between +10°C and +30°C. You can store the unit safely
between -25°C and +70°C.
•avoid wet conditions.
•to avoid damage, we recommend that you keep UniPRO Gbis in its
carrying case when you are not using it.
•do not use solvents, strong detergents or abrasive materials to clean
UniPRO Gbis. Use only cleaning agents approved for use on ABS and
polycarbonate plastics.
•Do not remove the rubber end caps from the tester, unless a master
reset is required (see Master Reset).
•Do not remove the blanking plug from the Ethernet port
Final Disposal
When your UniPRO Gbis has reached the end of its life you must dispose
of the complete unit in accordance with local environmental regulations.

Safety Information
When using UniPRO Gbis, 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
UniPRO Gbis.
Connector Safety
The RJ-45 line connector is rated TNV3.
The following connectors conform to EN60950 SELV safety status:
•RJ-45 Ethernet port
•USB port
•DC inlet port
WARNING Do not connect any telecoms network to any of the
tester ports except the RJ-45 line connector
The RJ-45 Ethernet port is reserved for authorised service
operations only and has no user function.

Power
UniPRO Gbis can be powered either from its internal rechargeable battery
or directly from power connected to the DC inlet.
Battery Management
For maximum life of the battery it is recommended to discharge it fully and
then recharge it fully at least once a month.
The battery is not externally accessible or user-serviceable. When it has
reached the end of its life, contact your local IDEAL representative for
service.
Battery Recharging
The batteries can be fully recharged in 3 hours with the tester switched ON
or OFF. To recharge the batteries, connect the supplied power adaptor to
the DC inlet . The Power LED next to the DC inlet lights green to show
that power is connected.
The Battery LED indicates as follows:
Tester LED Indicates
ON Off Battery is sufficiently charged for use
ON or OFF Flashing Green Battery is not being charged
ON or OFF Green Battery is being charged
ON Red Battery level is too low for reliable operation
Switching ON and OFF
To switch the tester ON, press and hold the Power button until the
HOME screen is displayed, then release it. The tester is ready to be used
for checking line conditions or adjusting settings.
To switch the tester OFF, press and hold the Power button until the
screen goes blank, then release it. The currently stored setup is saved. If
the tester does not switch OFF within 5 seconds, see Master Reset.

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 right hand rubber end cap
•Push a thin wire or pin (eg a paper clip) into the reset hole to press
the internal reset switch.
•Remove the pin to allow the tester to switch OFF.
•Replace the end cap
Power Saving
If Power Save is selected in SYSTEM SETUP, the display brightness will
be reduced after 3 minutes to save battery power, and the tester will switch
itself OFF automatically after 10 minutes of no activity, unless power is
connected to the DC inlet. To restore the display to full brightness, press
any key.

Checking Line Conditions
The HOME screen is displayed when the tester is switched ON (DSLonly
becomes available once INITIALISATION is complete):
Whenever the HOME screen is displayed, UniPRO Gbis independently
monitors each of the active line pairs (as selected in DSL SETUP) to check
for the following conditions:
Indication Meaning
Short Circuit Pair is short circuit
Break Pair is open circuit
Voltage Present Voltage is present on the pair
Voltage Excessive Excessive voltage is present on the pair. DSL testing is
not possible.
xDSL Activity Pair is connected to a DSL system other than SHDSL,
eg ADSL or VDSL
SHDSL Activity The pair is connected to another SHDSL device
Display text and LEDs in red indicate a fault.
The display and LEDs for any inactive pairs (as selected in DSL SETUP)
are blank.
