Set Sleep Mode Timeout

Sleep mode switches your instrument off if no keys are pressed for a set
period of time (15 minutes by default). This method of automatically
powering off the instrument conserves battery charge. It also enables
fast powering up (approximately 3-7 seconds). However, it is less battery
efficient than using the Complete Powerdown option because the
internal module remains switched on. Your instrument will power down
completely once the complete powerdown timeout period has elapsed.
When recording a route, powering up the instrument from Sleep mode
will return you to the last displayed menu. In all other cases, your
instrument will display the main menu.
