Caution

To prevent decrease of battery capacity, charge it at least twice a year.

Power On/Off:

Press to power up or down with the last setup configuration. The welcome screen shows what Analyzer settings are currently in use. At power on a single beep can be heard.

To save battery power, the Analyzer display dims automatically when no keys are operated during a certain time. This time is adjustable.

When a key is operated, the display turns on again.

For the adjustment of Auto-off time see Chapter 20, USER PREFerences.

Attention: the Analyzer switches off automatically when powered by battery only if no further knobs are operated after power-on (i.e. when the welcome screen is displayed).

Keep pressed for more than 5 seconds for extra brightness for better visibility in strong sunlight.
