Check the Signal Level by Using the Bargraph
Set slide switch SW3 to its bargraph (rightmost) position and set the Node Finder to zero to get
a global level indication. Press the ON switch and make sure that the TRAFFIC status indicator
is green. Generally, the bargraph displays two green status indicators indicating the maximum
and the minimum level of signal seen at the point of test on the network. Normally, these should
be in the range of status indicators 2…6.
