AUTO POWER OFF 

By default the Cipher 1660 BT is set to automatically power off after 10 minutes of non-use, 
this feature is intended to preserve battery life. In cases  where this time out period needs to 
be  changed  or  is  not  desired  it  can  be  user  programmed to  another time  period  or  disabled 
altogether. 

The  rapidly  flashing  blue  light  on  the  3610  transponder  unit  indicates  an  active  bluetooth 
communications link with the 1660 BT. This indicator will change periodically to a slower flash 
rate  (after  approximately  3  minutes  of  non-use),  this  change  is  normal  and  should  not  be 
confused  with  the  Auto  Power  Off  feature.  The  communication  link  can  be  reactivated  by 
pressing the Scan Key, once the link is reactivated normal scanning activity can be resumed. 

For  more  detailed  instructions  and  extensive  control  of  various  features  consult  the  user 
manual supplied on CD.
