The instrument enters standby mode (reduced display brightness) after short
time of inactivity (no key pressed, no voltage applied on the test tips).
From standby mode (to full display brightness), the instrument enters after
pressing any button or by applying the voltage on the test tips.
Auto power off occurs when the instrument is idle (no key pressed, no voltage
applied on the test tips) for about a minute.
After turning off the device can be switched on again after about 1s.
