Save Battery Life
When operated on the battery, this instrument conserves power by shutting itself
down. If you have not pressed a button for at least 30 minutes
,theinstrument
turns itself off automatically.
Automatic power shutdown will not occur if TrendPlot™ or Scope Roll Mode
is on, but the backlight will dim. Recording will continue even if the battery is
low, and retention of memories is not jeopardized.
To save battery life without automatic power shutdown you can use the display
AUTO-off option. The display will be turned off after the selected time
(30 seconds or 5 minutes).
NOTE. If the power adapter is connected, there is no automatic power shutdown,
and the display AUTO-off function is inactive.
