Audible Alerts
The RP 460 will emit an audible beep each time a major function is used. To disable most
beeps, start with the unit OFF. Press and hold the Save button, then turn the unit ON while
holding the Save button. Perform the same procedure to turn the audible beeps back on.
Continuous Usage Mode
The RP 460 will turn o automatically if no buttons are pressed for 5 minutes. To bypass
this feature, hold the Power button for 3 seconds when powering on. A series of beeps will
indicate that the unit is now in continuous mode: it will not turn o automatically.
Reviewing Saved Readings
While in the RCL mode, use the Save and Wavelength buttons to navigate through the
saved readings on the device. Each reading has a “location” indicated by a 4-digit number.
Note the blue arrows on the Save and Wavelength buttons. The data cycles at either end, so
going “up” from the last data point will cycle back to the rst location (0001) and vice versa.
Deleting Saved Readings
Press and hold the Save and Wavelength buttons simultaneously to delete all saved
readings in the RP 460 internal memory. The screen will ash 0000 to indicate that the
memory is empty.
Non-Volatile Memory
The RP 460 uses a non-volatile memory system. Data will not be lost if the unit is turned o
while testing, if the battery is removed, or if the unit is stored for long periods of time.
