Power Conservation Intervals

To help conserve its batteries, the Impulse
incorporates two timed power-off intervals, one for
the scope aiming dot and one for the instrument as
a whole. (The red dot interval does not affect a
fixed-crosshair scope.) By default, if there is no
instrument activity for 15 seconds, the scope
aiming dot turns off. If there is no activity for two
minutes, the instrument turns off completely.
You can change the intervals to make them more
convenient for your measurement conditions. Here
is the procedure:
1. Press Forward/Back as necessary to show the
SYS option.
2. Press Fire to select the SYS option.
3. Press Forward repeatedly until the M
