In the level Armory after you get your sight checked the Marine will tell you to stand on the red square. If you stand on the red square he will say to put your hand on the red touch pad.  After he says to put your hand on it walk over to him. From behind his control desk you can press the button. You can even walk around while he says, "Bingo!  As you can see..."  It won't help you in your game play at all.

You can also find two carts also in the room, and push them into the red square. If the boxes are centered more than you are, you will be pushed out of the square.

John-117 inside the energy shield test station on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.

The energy shield test station,[1] nicknamed the "zapper",[2] is a piece of machinery used to bring online inactive MJOLNIR armor energy shields as well as to test them. Though the device charges shields, they must be activated by the wearer.[3] Energy shield test stations are found on UNSC ships or facilities equipped for Spartans, including the cryo bay of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn and the armory of Cairo Station.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Pillar of Autumn's energy shield testing station produces the same noise as an overcharged plasma pistol. This could be due to time constraints and a lack of a unique sound for the tester.
  • In both Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, it is possible for the player to stand outside the shield tester yet experience its effects as normal. However, the player will still be unable to move while the device is active.
