to choose from among five widely used air speed units. The options are (in the
button-press sequence):

•

(kilometers per hour)—the factory default unit

• 

M/S

(meters per second)

• 

fpm

(feet per minute)

• 

mph

(miles per hour)

• 

Knot

The meter will “remember” your last selection when it is powered off and will
resume using that unit upon restart. So if you always use the same unit, you
will never have to press the 

Unit

button again.

To extend battery life, when operating in real-time mode the DAF800 will
automatically power itself off following any 10-minute period in which no front-
panel button is pressed. The meter will sound two beeps twice when this Auto
