7.3 — Menu Navigation
7.4 — Change Time and Date
To change the time and date, see the Navigation Menu in Figure 7-4. If power is lost (battery is disconnected/recon-
nected, 7.5 amp fuse is removed/installed, etc.), the display automatically prompts the user for the Time and Date. All
other information is retained in memory.
7.5 — Programmable Timers
7.5.1— Dealer Programmable
NOTE: A dealer password is required.
7.5.1.1—High Run Speed Timer
A programmable high run speed timer is provided. The timer controls the length of time the generator runs at maximum
speed after application of a large load (such as an air conditioner). The time can be increased to prevent the potential
cycling of engine RPM as loads turn on and off. For example, if the timer is currently set to
ten
minutes, and the normal
AC cycling time is 15 minutes, increasing the timer to 20 minutes would prevent the engine speed from ramping up and
down every ten minutes between AC cycles (even though fuel consumption would increase).
7.6 — USB Port for Firmware Updates
A USB port is located beneath the rubber flap adjacent to the control pad, and is provided for firmware updates. Firm-
ware updates must be performed by an Authorized Service Dealer.
NOTE: The USB port is intended for use with a USB thumb drive only. The USB port is not intended for
charging devices such as phones or laptops. Do not connect any consumer electronics to the USB port.
