Applying Power
The Battery switch—located on the bottom of the
instrument—turns the instrument off and on during battery
operation. When the AC adapter is attached, the instrument
remains on and the battery switch has no affect.
As an added feature to conserve battery life, the
instrument automatically powers down when it is not in
use. You can define the amount of time it takes to initiate
a power-down within the instrument configuration
options,
see Section Four. Taking a measurement or
pressing a key turns the instrument back on during a
power-down.
