Functions

The previously configured system settings have been changed.

When the firmware is upgraded or the batteries are completely
discharged, some system settings may be changed back to default
settings. To re-configure these changed settings, please refer to Section
5. Setup.

I cannot enter a key input.

The software may malfunction for various reasons. Reboot the mPack
and try again. If the symptoms persist, call customer service. 

The remote control does not work.

The most common reason for the remote control to malfunction is dead
batteries. Try replacing the batteries first. If the remote still doesn't work,
call customer service. 

The power will not go off.

This usually indicates that the mPack has had a firmware malfunction (the
screen is frozen). Press and hold the power button down for about 10
seconds. If the mPack still doesn't respond, call customer service. 

The batteries discharge very quickly.

Batteries are consumable items. Their usage time decreases through time
as they are used and reused. Try these remedies:

Allow the mPack to completely discharge its battery pack before 
recharging it. 
Some batteries acquire false "memories" after several recharges if 
they've been recharged with a partial charge. 
Buy a replacement battery. 
If the battery usage time dramatically decreases within a short time 
span, call customer service.

The batteries will not recharge.

See A16. 

Leave the power for the mPack on for more than one minute and then 
turn the power off. Try recharging again.
If problem persists, call customer service.

I cannot find a cause for my problem, no answer solves my problem,
and none of these questions address my problem.

Call our customer service center at 1-800-xxx-xxxx.
