Deep discharge 
protection
The device has a deep discharge protector to warn the user if the state of charge of the 
battery is too low. The device switches off.
Function of the deep discharge protector:
- when the battery capacity is exhausted
-  all segments of the battery capacity indicator flash
-  "Lo" appears in the digital display

Automatic 
switch-off
Automatic switch-off avoids unnecessary power consumption and thereby extends the ef-
fective period of operation with one battery charge.
If the device is not used or operated for a specified period of time, it switches off automat-
ically.
To reactivate the device, press the On/Off button for at least 2 seconds.
CAUTION! When storing for longer periods, damage to the battery can occur.
If the deep discharge protector is activated, recharge the device immediately. 
NOTE! The factory setting for the automatic switch-off time is 15 minutes. This 
value can be changed in the Setup menu using the tSd parameter.
