To operate the OMNIScanner and OMNIRemote with battery power, the battery
must first be charged. Until the charging cycle is complete, the units can run with
the AC adapter plugged in. (See Appendix B, Batteries for more information
about the batteries.)
2.2 OMNIScanner’s Project Screen

flow operations. The project, the test specifications, and the cable types are all
selectable from the OMNIScanner Project screen.

the highlight to the Autotest or Cable field. Press ENTER when a filed is
highlighted to change the current Project, Autotest, or Cable. OMNIScanner will
auto-sense the Adapter.
