9. Display Off
When using the iGen
®
connected to an external recording device, and you do not
need to view the scene through the eyepiece, you may turn the display off. This will
greatly improve battery life.
To turn the display off, choose “Display”, then “On-Off”. When you toggle down to
the “Off” setting, the display will immediately turn off. After the display turns off, you
must then push the 3-way switch up to save this setting. If you do not accept the off-
setting by pushing up after the display turns off, the display will turn back on after ten
seconds.
To turn the display back on, turn power off and then turn power back on with the
On/Off Button.
10. Auto-Off
The menu selection “Auto Off” allows you to program the time interval after which
the device, or the IR, automatically turns off. Each user input (press of a button)
resets the auto-off timer.
