The MPX G2 provides a memory protection feature to prevent accidental overwriting of your stored programs. When this control is set to On, attempting to store a program will cause the Store process to abort, and an error message to be displayed. To enable the Store function, select Off. (This is the default setting.)

Option: StorePrompt

To have the MPX G2 warn you whenever loading a new program would erase changes you have made but have not saved, press Options and set StorePrompt to On.

This control allows you to adjust the brightness of the alphanumeric display along a range of 0-15.

The setting of Sleep mode determines the behavior of the MPX G2 when it is left idle. When it is on, a set of messages is cycled across the display. Like a computer screen saver, any activity on any panel control will automatically return the MPX G2 to normal operation. When shipped, Sleep is set to Off. You can change this mode to display general Help messages.
