The second line shows the current date and time. The third
line shows the current project (see page 5-2), if any. The last
line shows the measurement mode (see page 2–18).
The PaveTracker Plus features a backlit keypad and display. To
toggle the backlights on and off, press the 〈LIGHT〉 key.
NOTE
The keypad and display backlights increase the power
consumption of the unit. To conserve battery life, Troxler
recommends that the backlights be used only when
necessary.
To conserve power, the PaveTracker Plus provides a sleep
mode, as well as an automatic shutdown. If no key is pressed
for five minutes, the gauge enters sleep mode. In sleep mode,
the display and keypad backlights, and most of the electronics
are turned off, but all data and gauge settings are protected.
To exit sleep mode, press any key. If no key is pressed for 60
minutes, the gauge shuts down automatically.
NOTE
If the gauge goes into sleep mode while in the continuous
measurement mode (see page 2–18), the display returns
to the Ready screen. In
averaging or segregation mode,
the gauge maintains its current state when it enters
sleep
mode.
The gauge software monitors the battery voltage. If the
voltage falls below 6.0 V dc, the gauge displays a low battery
symbol (
) in the upper right of the Ready screen. Recharge
the batteries as described on page A–5. After charging, the
battery voltage should be between 6.8 and 7.2 V dc. If the
voltage falls below 5.5 V dc, the gauge powers down
automatically after completing any memory store functions
already in progress.
