(month day) followed by the tank time (hour:minute:second). The clock
Time can also displayed by setting Advanced Clocking to ON (see section
' Enabling/Disabling Advanced Clocking' on page 19).
The second line indicates the current status of the control modules; the

character displayed is either an "M" or "m" then that timer is in manual
mode (operation). The "M" indicates that the controlled device is
operating and the "m" indicates the device is idle. Manual Mode Operation
is described in section ' Control and Status' on page 16
The other special characters displayed on this line indicate that the timer is
in Automatic mode, and the controlled device(s) are either "on" or "off".
