Monitoring After a Power Failure
If the monitor is without power for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active
settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends
on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded
when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power
is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode.
