Date:, Time:
Enter a date and time.
NOTE: If the DS-L1 remains turned off for extended periods, its internal timer may
slow down or stop. When the DS-L1 starts up, it displays the date and time
set in its timer (flashes for about 8 seconds). If you have shut off the DS-L1
for one week or longer, check the date and time shown on the DS-L1 when
you turn it back on.
Power Save Timer
If you leave the DS-L1 idle for a certain time, it will automatically switch to power-save
mode. You can set how long the DS-L1 will wait before switching to power-save mode.
Setting a value of “00” will disable the power-save function.

assigned two or more functions at the same time.
