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:
