2 Operation
2.1 Power
The unit must be connected to the power at all times.
Use the power button in the front panel of the instrument to switch the power ON and OFF.
Note In the OFF position, the power button is still dimly lit for easy identification in the dark. This only applies
when the instrument is connected to the power supply.
Note In a blackout situation, the instrument will always return to the last power state. This means that if the
instrument was switched ON before a blackout, it will be ON after a blackout. The same applies to the OFF
status. When the instrument is switched ON, the power button is lit in accordance with the DIM setting of the
LCD backlight, so the power buttons dims together with the LCD panel.
2.2 Main Screen
When the AlphaLine Instrument is switched ON, it will boot into the AlphaLine Instrument application. The application will
show the instrument specific data applicable to the particular instrument.
During the initialization time, while the instrument is starting up, the screen displays Figure 14: Splash Screen Rate of
Turn Indicator on page 22 . Depending on the display, the lower half of the screen shows the size of the instrument.
