NOTE: Even with HBX enabled, the user can issue manual DROP or USE commands using the AC INPUT CONTROL found under the ACIN hot key. Once a manual command is issued, the system will remain in that chosen command until the next HBX scheduled cycle normally occurs.

Because GRID-USE Mode uses the DROP and USE commands, it cannot be enabled at the same time as HBX Mode. Enabling GRID-USE will automatically disable HBX Mode
