Setting Backlight Timeout
Note: To activate the Backlight, press any numeric key on the
keypad when the meter is running in Operate Mode. You
can also turn the backlight on or off by pressing the power
key briefly (about one-half second).
By using the Backlight Timeout option, you can set a specified
time that the PM880 backlight will remain on before turning itself
off. Automatic turnoff enables the PM880 to conserve battery
power.
To set the backlight timeout:
1. From the Meter menu, scroll to the Backlight entry and press
[ENTER]. The Display Options window opens on the Display
tab, as shown in Figure 6-5 on page 6-10.
2. Press the [
T] key three times to reach the Backlight Off text
box.
3. Then press
[ENTER] to enter the box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the number of minutes that the
backlight remains on (from 0 to 60).
5. Press
[ENTER] to confirm the entry.
• To confirm the entries and return to Operate Mode, press [F3]
(OK). The PM880 returns to Operate Mode.
• To leave the window without confirming the entries, press [F2]
(Cancel) or the
[ESC] key. The PM880 returns to Operate
Mode.
