General Tools and Instruments DCS800 - Manual (Page 11)

RESET AUTO POWER OFF INTERVAL
By default, the Auto Power Off function of the DCS800 is disabled. To minimize
how often you must change or recharge the instrument’s batteries, General
strongly recommends that you reset the Auto Power Off interval to 5 or 10
minutes of inactivity at the front-panel buttons. Having the DCS800
occasionally power off on its own is only a minor inconvenience because the
unit can be restarted in less than 5 seconds.
To change the Auto Power Off interval:
1. Power on the console by pressing the button and holding it for at
least 3 seconds.
2. Press the button to open the main menu. DELETE ALL FILES will be
highlighted.
3. Press the button once to scroll up to and highlight the AUTO POWER
OFF line.
4. Press the button to open the AUTO POWER OFF submenu. OFF will
be highlighted.
5. Press the button to scroll down to and highlight the 5 MINUTE or
10 MINUTE line.
6. Press the button to save your selection.
7. Press the button once to return to Preview mode.
