2020 Software Manual

2. Press the soft key below “Set”.

3. The names of the soft keys change to reflect the Set

options. The display now shows 3 devices which can be
set: “Clock”, “Pump”, and “Cal”. Press the “Pump”
key.

4. The 2020 turns the pump off. If the pump was off,

pressing “Pump” will turn the pump on.

5. A message will be displayed to show you the status of

the pump. 2020 reverts back to the previous menu after
a few seconds.

6. To return to the default display, press the ENTER key.
