Activating the DPM

The DPM can be turned on and off via the Lock/Hold switch. If the device is locked, it is not possible to use any of the DPM buttons and none of the buttons can be pressed accidentally.

When you work with the DPM for the first time, insert the batteries and unlock the Lock/Hold switch. The device is now operational and you can insert the memory card.

For activating the device when it has already been in use, there are the following options:

•If the Lock/Hold switch was activated, unlock the device.

•If the device has gone into Power Save mode (the device has been left inactive for for more than four minutes), activate the device by pressing any button or by moving the 4-Position Switch.

•If the DPM has been left inactive for more than two hours, it is automatically turned off. In this case, it can only be turned on via the Lock/Hold switch (OFF-ON functionality) or by moving the 4-Position Switch.
