System Modes
1.  The 965AMS tester is a microcomputer-controlled device 
that is very similar to a laptop computer. The tester will be 
in one of 3 modes: Active, Standby, or Power Down.
2.   Active Mode: Press the red 
 key to wake-up the 
tester. It is ready to use. The amount of time the tester will 
stay in the active mode without pushing a key is controlled 
by the Power-Down Timeout setting. Your choices are 5, 10 
and 15 minutes.
3.  Standby Mode: When you finish using the tester, press the 
red 
 key to go into the Standby Mode. 
4.  Power Down Mode: This mode uses a very small amount 
of power. This mode is recommended for extended down 
time such as overnight or weekends and vacations. To power 
down the tester, press and hold the red 
 key for 10 
seconds to go into Power Down Mode.
Note: The tester is still using battery in Standby Mode. To 
preserve battery life it is recommended that you power down 
the tester overnight.
