In a low-voltage, or "brown-out" condition (less than 40VAC), the MPX G2 will	Low Voltage
freeze in its current state. None of the controls will have any effect. When power
returns to a normal level, the unit will reset itself as though it had just been
powered on. If the unit does not reset itself, turn the power OFF, then ON to
resume normal operation.
Temperature extremes may cause the MPX G2 to exhibit unpredictable behav-	Overheating
ior. If the unit has been subjected to temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above
95°F (35°C), it should be turned off and allowed to return to normal temperature
before use. The unit may be damaged by exposure to temperatures below -22°F
(-30°C) or above 167°F (75°C), or by exposure to humidity in excess of 95%. If
a unit exposed to such conditions fails to operate after it returns to a normal
operating temperature, contact your local service representative.
