LBD - Low Battery Disconnect:
The KID includes an adjustable Low battery Disconnect function which allows the user to set an
absolute discharge limit when using a daily function such as Night Light. This will protect the batteries
from being over discharged. This feature includes a reconnect voltage set point. Some users may opt to
have it reconnect when Float has been reached, ensuring that the batteries have been fully charged
after a LBD (Low Battery Disconnect) event. If a LBD state has occurred the blue LED will blink slowly.
To set up these parameters:
• Press Menu Back button
• Scroll to the right and select <Load> and press Enter
