Summary Screens

The Summary screens provided by the MATE:

Summarize the current status of any FX, OutBack Charge Controller and/or FLEXnet DC connected to it.

Can be accessed from the <MAIN> screen by pressing the <SUM> soft key and can be set to pop up like a screen saver after a delay (See Summary Screen Options on the next page for more setup information).

Any MATE soft key pressed while the Summary screen is being displayed returns you to the screen that was active before the Summary screen was displayed. Pressing the two lower left soft keys at the same time opens the MAIN Menu screen.
