Saving Battery Life
When operated on the battery (no battery charger
connected), the test tool conserves power by shutting 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.
Automatic power shutdown will not occur if TrendPlot or
Scope Record is on, but the backlight will dim. Recording
will continue even if the battery is low, and retention of
memories is not jeopardized.
Setting the Power Down Timer
Initially the power shutdown time is 30 minutes. You can set
the power shutdown time to 5 minutes as following:
1 Display the USER key labels.
2 Open the User Options menu.
3 Open the Battery Save Options
menu.
4 Select 5 Minutes.
