Note

The new contrast and brightness are stored until a new adjustment is made.

To save battery power, the test tool is in economic brightness mode when operated on the battery. The high brightness intensity increases when you connect the power adapter.

Note

Using dimmed light lengthens maximum battery power operation by about one hour.
