Saving Battery Life
When operated on the battery pack (no Power Adapter
connected), the test tool conserves power by shuting itself
down. If you have not pressed a key for at least 30 minutes,
the test tool turns itself off automatically.
Note
If the Power Adapter is connected, there is no
automatic power shutdown.
Although automatic power shutdown will not occur if
TrendPlot is on, the backlight will dim. Recording will
continue even if the battery pack is low, and retention of
memories is not jeopardized.
Setting the Power Down Timer
To extend battery life, the power shutdown time is set to
30 minutes after the last key press. To set the power
shutdown to five minutes, do the following:
Open the USER OPTIONS menu.
Highlight POWER DOWN ...
Open the submenu.
Highlight AFTER 5 MIN.
Accept the new power down time.
