AUTO-BOOTThis toggle ON/OFF sets the OmniScan X3 flaw detector to automatically boot up using the selected application (OmniScan X.X) on subsequent start-ups.
LanguageThis option enables you to change the language of the software. You must change the language before starting the application.
Keyboard Layout This option enables you to change the keyboard language of the software. You must change the keyboard language before starting the application.
If you always choose the same application, you can skip the application selection step for future restarts by selecting Always boot the selected application below the software buttons. To regain the ability to choose the application at start-up, select Preferences > System, and then Manual boot.
To turn off the OmniScan X3
1. Press and hold the Power key ( ) for 3 seconds. 2. Tap the Shut Down button on the confirmation window to turn off the
OmniScan X3 flaw detector.
If the OmniScan X3 does not react after a short press of the Power key ( ) (or after selecting Shut Down), press and hold the Power key ( ) for at least five seconds. This initiates a power-down sequence. However, your setup will NOT be saved with this method.
Never attempt to turn off the OmniScan X3 flaw detector by removing all power sources, because this could cause a faulty start-up the next time you turn it on.
