Physical FeaturesPower and ChargingThe LinkRunner G2 contains a rechargeableLithium Ion battery. You can charge your LR G2using either AC or Power over Ethernet (PoE). TheLinkRunner G2 does not charge via the USB port.See Buttons and Ports.ChargingTo charge with AC power, plug the included ACadapter into an AC outlet, and connect it to thecharging port on the device.To charge with PoE, connect the RJ-45 port on thedevice to a network switch with PoE available orwith a PoE injector.NOTE: To charge via PoE, the LR G2 must bepowered on or in sleep mode, and PoE must beenabled in the test settings.Charge the battery for 4-6 hours before first use.Powering OnlPress the power button on the front of theunit to power on the LinkRunner G2.17
Physical FeatureslllWhen the unit is on, press the power buttonto put it in sleep mode.To shut down, hold the power button forone second until the “Power off” dialog boxappears on the touchscreen, then tapPower off .To perform a hard power off (withoutshutting down the software), press and holdthe power button for five seconds.The first time you turn it on, the LinkRunner G2testing application opens and begins testing yournetwork immediately. Connect the top RJ-45 LANport or 100/1000 BASE-X Fiber port to an activenetwork to begin receiving test results.18
Physical FeaturesMaintenanceTo clean the display, use a lens cleaner and a soft,lint-free cloth.To clean the case, use a soft cloth that is moist withwater or a weak soap.W CAUTION: Do not use solvents or abrasivematerials that may damage the product.19
