When the remote is connected to a Magnum inverter/charger, the settings in
the remote control determine the inverter/charger’s operating parameters.
The default settings in the remote control are adequate for most installations

operating parameters. This section shows you how to navigate the remote
and gives you an understanding of the function of each adjustable setting.
