AUTO POWER OFF

After 15 minutes without use, the meter will automatically power off. Five short beeps will sound as
a 1 minute warning that the unit is about to power off if not used. The unit will sound a long beep
when it is automatically powering off.
After auto power off, if the Mode Selector is turned or any buttons are pushed, the unit will turn
back on.
To disable the auto power off feature, hold the 

“DATA-H” 

button when the unit is powered on.
