Tips 

This section is information and tips on how to best use 
the Test Tool. 

Battery Life 

For battery operation, the Test Tool conserves power by 
shutting itself down. If you have not pressed a key for at 
least 30 minutes, the Test Tool turns itself off 
automatically. 

Automatic power shutdown will not occur if Record is on, 
but the backlight will dim. Recording continues if the 
battery is low. Retention of memories is not jeopardized. 

To save battery life without automatic power shutdown 
you can use the display AUTO-off option. The display 
turns off after the selected time (30 seconds or 5 
minutes). 

Note 

If the power adapter is connected, automatic 
power shutdown and the display AUTO-off 
function is disabled. 

Power Off Timer 

By default, the power off timer is set to 30 minutes after the 
last key press. To change the time to 5 minutes or turn off: 

1. Push 

 to open the Menu.  

2. Use 

YZ

 to highlight 

USER OPTIONS

. 

3. Push 

 to open the USER OPTIONS menu. 

4. Use 

YZ

 to highlight 

Battery Save Options

. 

5. Push 

 to open the USER > BATTERY SAVE 

menu. 

6. Use 

YZ

 to highlight the preference. 

7. Push 

 to accept the change and exit the menu.
