Operations via Cloud

Auto-upload settings enable this product to automatically upload data to T&D WebStorage Service. Please read the T&D WebStorage Service License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this Agreement.

Making Auto-Upload Settings

By making settings for auto-upload, it is possible to automatically upload recorded data to the online “T&D WebStorage Service”.

1. Connect a LAN cable to the Ethernet port.
   If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, change the network settings on our software “TR7 for Windows” by connecting the device to a PC via USB. For details about operations please see the “Help” menu in the software.

2. Click the button twice to display the current upload interval.

3. Press the button until the display flashes.

4. With each pressing of the button the upload interval time will change. When the desired interval appears, stop pressing the button.
   If you wish NOT to use the auto-upload feature, select “OFF”. Within a few seconds, the display will return to measurement mode to indicate the upload interval is set.

Below are some examples of upload intervals and the corresponding estimated battery life.
In general, the shorter the upload interval, the shorter the battery life.

• All estimates are based on operations carried out with a new battery and are in no way a guarantee of actual battery life.
• The auto-upload interval can also be changed during a recording session.
