			'''Testing the System'''

			The functionality of the Battery Saver can be verified by powering the panel up and navigating to SETTINGS / BRAIN / OUTPUT STATUS TESTING / DIGITAL OUT TESTING. Here turn the assigned output (e.g. DO6) ON. The panel will turn off and remain off until Power switch SW10 is being depressed and switched ON again.
