CONFIGURATION
After installation is complete, the TEC must be configured using
the UPStart Setup Software to set the location and event
schedules information. All programmed data is protected by non-
volatile memory and can only be changed or deleted by
reprogramming, regardless of power outage durations. A factory
installed lithium battery maintains accurate time and calendar
information for 10 years.
