is exited by pressing the HOME button, returning you to the starting
screen.
AUTOMATIC SLEEP MODE
About 12 seconds after turning off the vehicle or pressing a button after
the vehicle engine is turned off, the ScanGaugeII will automatically
power down into a sleep mode. The display will go blank and the
backlighting will turn off if it was on. Starting the engine or pressing the
HOME button will automatically reactivate the ScanGaugeII and it will
return to the screen and lamp settings it had just before it went to sleep.
AUTOMATIC MODE RECOGNITION
Different vehicles use different types of signaling from their computers.
In most cases, the ScanGaugeII can quickly determine which type your
vehicle is using. You don't have to know which type it is for it to be
used.
AUTOMATIC REPEAT BUTTONS
Pressing the buttons and holding them for more than a second will cause
them to automatically repeat at a rate of about 2 times a second. This
allows for rapid stepping to a value without a lot of button pressing.
USER PROGRAMMABLE GAUGES
Up to 25 trip, vehicle specific or special gauges can be entered into the
ScanGaugeII. These are stored in flash memory and will be retained
even if there is a power loss, but the user can change them as often as
desired.
USER PROGRAMMABLE COMMANDS
Up to 10 commands can be generated, edited, saved and sent to the
vehicle computer. This allows for future codes and some special
commands to be added by the user.
FLASH MEMORY
The ScanGaugeII II uses a type of memory which doesn't require
batteries or a source of power to maintain. This means that your settings
will not be lost if you disconnect the vehicle battery or disconnect the
ScanGaugeII.
