When the battery voltage falls below the disconnect volts, the AUX connected loads only are disconnected; the loads are On when the battery voltage rises above the reconnect volts. To adjust these set points, press the <TIME> and <VOLT> soft keys.

Press either the < - > or < + > soft key to adjust the delay time. This is the time period the MX60 waits before either activating or deactivating the AUX MODE when either the disconnect or reconnect volt- ages are reached. When the low voltage occurs, the timer shows the seconds remaining before discon- necting. When the reconnect voltage is reached, the timer shows the userdetermined time before con- necting. Press the <BACK> soft key to return to the Low Batt Disconnect screen.
