8.2. Motor Current Alarm

If the motors draw more current than the device can support, damage to the MX3 can happen.
Usually, too much current draw indicates that one or more motors require more current than the
MX3 can support, or that a motor has stalled and severe damage to the motor or the MX3 may
occur. When a motor current alarm is triggered, all motor movement will be immediately
stopped and a warning screen will be presented for fifteen seconds.
The motor current alarm cannot be disabled.

8.3. Motor Temperature Alarm

If the internal motor drivers overheat, permanent damage can occur to the motor driver or other
parts of the MX3. An overheat condition can occur from shooting conditions (MX3 left for a long
period in very bright sun, in a hot environment, with motors running at or near peak current), or
can be a sign that one motor is drawing more current than allowed, but less than the total device
supported current.
When a motor temperature alarm is triggered, all motor movement will be immediately stopped
and a warning screen will be presented for fifteen seconds.
The motor temperature alarm cannot be disabled.
