OPERATION

The MMX-6 interacts with the operator through the membrane keypad

and the LCD display. The functions of the various keys on the keypad are

detailed below, followed by an explanation of the display and its various

symbols.

The Keypad

This key is used to turn the MMX-6 on and off. When the gauge is

turned ON, it will first perform a brief display test by illuminating all of the

segments in the display. After one second, the gauge will display the

internal software version number. After displaying the version number, the

display will show "0.000" (or "0.00" if using metric units), indicating the

gauge is ready for use.

The MMX-6 is turned OFF by pressing the ON/OFF key. The gauge

has a special memory that retains all of its settings even when the power is

off. The gauge also features an auto-powerdown mode designed to

conserve battery life. If the gauge is idle for 5 minutes, it will turn itself off.
