2.2 Leaving the instrument in Power Save mode
When you are not using the instrument, stop the LC flow, and put the instrument in Power Save
mode, to conserve energy and reduce nitrogen consumption (see the online Help for details).
Tip:
If the instrument has been in Power Save mode for more than 60 minutes and you transition
to Operate mode, Waters recommend that you allow the instrument to stabilize for at least one
hour before you calibrate the instrument or run any samples.

3. Wait approximately five minutes.
