Battery power operation
Not all batteries V lock or Bauer can handle the powerdraw on 100 %
The unit is consuming up to 125 watts on batteries.
If you experience that the unit switches off after a couple of seconds and reboots it may be for 2 reasons
A.The battery is close to empty - B.The Battery cannot handle the load
We have made the following function to avoid the situation where the unit is set to 100 %
and you cannot change it because the battery switches off before you can set it to a lower %
Disconnect the battery, reconnect the battery and within the first 5 seconds press and hold ENTER
until the display reads: MAN 00 Now select a level your batteries can handle using UP and DOWN buttons

by pressing ENTER after setting the light level. After saving a light level the ENTER button can be used to
toggle between 0 and the saved level. The display reads out “MANUAL” for 0 and a number for the stored
