The Validator-NT main unit is powered on by pressing the red power
button. When powering on, the unit will display a series of start up
screens until the Start screen is reached, which contains the main menu.
At the top of every screen the following information appears - The name
of the screen being displayed “Start, Auto Test” etc., the current job
name, the battery condition and the date/time from the internal clock.
The Validator-NT always has a le open, which is the current le name
that appears at the top of the screen, so that data can be saved in
the event of auto-power down. The last job opened will remain as the
current job until changed even through on and off cycles.

Tests, Job Manager, Setup and Properties. You can navigate between
these buttons with the arrow keys that move from left to right on each
