You push both the red and the green button at the same time while in the menus mode. This will put you in the advanced menu were you can turn off this feature. You might be better off to pay a tec to come out and train you on this unit rather than attempting it your self. You should go on line and down load the manual if you don’t already have a copy. You will see that it is a very complex unit that does more things than you ever imagined.
I agree 100%

Those older Trace inverters are rugged. They have a huge surge capacity to start motors and compressors. I had one for over 20 years without any problems. Would still have it if it was pure sine wave.

Follow tiltriders direction and you will be back in business.
