The ADVANCED (ADV) menu section allows adjustment of all the settings involved with the operation of the FX.  Changes made to 
these settings are stored internally in non-volatile memory inside of the FX – the settings are not lost when the MATE is removed or 
battery power is disconnect.   

Some settings appear both in the SETUP and in the ADV menus.  Changes made to these settings in one area will cause the same 
changes to occur in the other area.  The settings are provided in both menus to make it more convenient for the FX programmer by 
giving access to all of the settings in the advanced menu.   

Access to the settings in the ADV menu is restricted through the use of a password.  This password is required to view and adjust the 
settings.  Once the password has been entered, all advanced categories can be adjusted without having to re-enter the password.  If 
the advanced menu is exited and re-entered, the password must be re-entered, however.  Use of the “hot” keys AC IN and INV is 
allowed from the advanced menu and selecting OK from these screens will return you to the same point in the advanced menu.  

The password for the inverter is currently fixed to the same value for all of the FX’s.
