Setting the power saving mode
To enable auto power-off, set this timer to any value from 1 to 99 minutes.
This feature is incorporated for power saving. The instrument will automatically
turn off after the specified period of time, if none of the following happens within
that period:
– A key on the keypad is pressed
– A measurement function is changed
– The dynamic recording mode is activated
– The 1 ms peak hold mode is activated
– The auto power-off feature has been disabled in the setup mode
– The output has been enabled (the
annunciator is displayed)
To reactivate the instrument after auto power-off, turn the rotary switch to the
OFF position and then turn it on again.
If the instrument is to be used for a long period of time, you may want to disable
the auto power-off feature. When the auto power-off feature is disabled, the
annunciator will not be shown on the display. The instrument will remain
on until you manually turn the rotary switch to the OFF position, or until the
batteries run flat.
