NOTE:
• If the battery voltage falls below the FX’s Low Battery Cut-Off voltage, the FX will
automatically connect to the AC input source regardless of the GRID-USE time of day setting.
• 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.
• GRID-USE Mode only allows one Drop and Use per day. GRID-USE can be affected by the
MATE not automatically adjusting its clock for Daylight Savings Time.
• A START time that equals a STOP time disables a change during that period (weekdays
or weekends). If disabled, the current USE or DROP command will continue through the
disabled period. If both the weekday and weekend periods have START and STOP times that
are the same, respectively, the GRID-USE Mode will be completely disabled.
