mode. After the choice, the meter will show the channel number as you desired in any measurement
mode. Refer to Figure 4-5-2.

Figure 4-5-2

4.5.3 Learn User Plan


You can build and stored up to twelve user plans in meter. Before first measurement, you should build the
user plan to make the meter be compatible with your cable system.

NOTE:

The LEARN USER PLAN option will build the new user plan and replace the current selected
user plan. If build other user plans, you can enter into SELECT USER PLAN and then make
the LEARN USER PLAN operation.

Detailed operation refer to 3.1.


4.5.4 Edit User Plan
The user plan is combined by following:
* Digital (numeric) channel number
* Standard (alphanumeric) channel number
* Channel type (Analogue, DIGI, Single Freq, DUAL)
* Carrier frequency
* Audio offset
* Activation status
* Modulation
* SR (Symbol rate)

Figure 4-5-3

Enter into the EDIT CHANNEL PLAN by pressing knob as Figure4-5-3 , press to exit. Rotate the knob
or key to highlight one channel, and press knob to edit status as Figure 4-5-4.

NOTE: Be sure to save the edit by pressing the SAVE&EXIT . Press to exit, and the edit will not be
saved.

4.5.5 Tilt Edit


Up to sixteen channels can be tested in TILT measurement mode. Press knob to access Tilt setup status
when the cursor indicate tilt edit, or press “setup” key to access this status, as Figure 4-5-5.

Highlight the desired channel by rotating knob or pressing and buttons, and enable or disable the channel
by pressing the knob. The “√” indicator is shown to mark the enabled channel.

The DS2500E will list the selected channel in sequence according to the frequency.
Press to return to the previous menu,there will be a pop up to remind whether save your setting as Figure
4-5-6. If select yes, the set is effective, otherwise un-effective.

5. Power Supply

5.1 Battery
DS2500E use built-in 14.8V 2.1AH Li-Polymer battery and work over 5 when fully charged. When the
voltage of the battery drops below 13.5V, the battery icon flashes in screen. Once the voltage of the battery
is lower than 13V, the instrument will shut down automatically. Please charge about 4-5 hours.

NOTE:

1. The meter can be only charged by the charger provided together with DS2500E.

2. It is suggested to close the instrument when charging.


3. Low temperature may reduce the capability of the battery, but the battery will not be damaged.
4. Please replace the battery when its working hours shorten distinctly.

5.2 Charge
The instrument’s charge sock and charger plug is as follows:

DS2500E charge socket Charger’s plug

Please charge the instrument as following charge process:


1. Insert the charger output plug to DS2500E’ DC charge socket.
2. Connect the charger to AC 100V-240V Power and the charger indicator will light with red.
3. When indicator become to green, the instrument has been fully charged(It is suggested to charge
another one hour after indicator change to green. This way can extend the battery life). Then you can
disconnect the charger input plug with power and pull out the charger output plug.

NOTE:
The instrument can not be charged in the temperature beyond 10℃~35℃, otherwise the battery life
will be shorten.
