Power Save Mode

To maximize the battery lifetime of the RCX5
training computer we recommend you to use the
power save mode. It can be activated in
WebSync software and has the following effects
on your training computer usage:

1.

Power save mode during the day

During the hours of 06:00 and 24:00 /
6:00am to 12:00pm, the power save mode
will be activated, if you have not pressed any
of the buttons for five minutes. The time
shown on the display will change smaller and
the AutoSync function is disabled. To exit
the power save mode, press any button.

2.

Power save mode during the night

During the night, in between the hours
24:00 - 06:00 / 12:00am - 06:00am, the
training computer display will be switched
off automatically. During this time the
AutoSync function is not enabled. To exit the
power save mode, press any button. After
five minutes, the display returns to power
save mode. The time period during which the
power save mode is enabled, can be
modified in the WebSync software, to better
suit your training schedule.

The power save mode will not be enabled during
training session recording. For more information,
see WebSync Help.
