Battery Freshness Mode

4.1.39
The Battery Freshness Mode (BFM) prevents discharging of the battery until the device is powered on and
used for the first time and enhances the battery life. When the device is shipped, BFM is enabled to avoid the
discharge of the battery power during shipping and storage.
During installation and commissioning, the BFM is automatically disabled when the device is powered on from
an external power supply for the first time.
To activate the BFM mode, it is mandatory to disconnect the power source. By selecting the BFM mode, the
device stops all the routine operations until the power supply is reconnected.
