Using AC power
Using battery
Explanation
To reduce power consumption, you can set separate power save settings for when the Instrument is
using an AC adapter and for when it is using a battery.
Auto Power Off
When the Instrument is on, it can turn itself off automatically after it has not been used for awhile.
However, it cannot turn itself off when the OTDR feature is generating an optical pulse.
Off
The power does not turn off automatically.
AutoPowerOff 1m
The power turns off automatically after one minute.
AutoPowerOff 5m
The power turns off automatically after 5 minutes.
AutoPowerOff 10m
The power turns off automatically after 10 minutes.
AutoPowerOff 30m
The power turns off automatically after 30 minutes.
LCD Brightness
You can set the LCD brightness.
Bright
The screen is bright. Choose this setting when you are in a bright area. Because this setting
uses a great deal of power, pay close attention to the remaining battery power when you are
using a battery.
Normal
Normal brightness.
Power save
The screen is less bright than it is when you select Normal. You can view the screen at this
brightness when you are in a dark area. You can use the battery longer than you can when you
select Bright.
Off
The LCD backlight is turned off. If you are in an extremely bright area, such as under sunlight,
this setting makes the LCD easier to see than when you set the brightness to Bright. You can
use the battery even longer than you can when you select Power save. When you press any
key, the backlight turns on for approximately 10 seconds.
Screen Save
When the Instrument is on and is using the battery, the Instrument can turn its display off automatically
after it has not been used for 15 seconds.
