<no message>
When both power sources (2 batteries or 1 battery and an AC
adapter or DC adapter) are removed, NO message will display on
the controller. The "No Power" alarm will sound but the Alarm
Indicator on the controller WILL NOT light. This indicates your pump
has stopped. You should immediately connect two power sources.
