How can I stop the display from rotating status output on the SMT-1500C.  I like locking the display output to load wattage on my BR-1500G with the display always on.

I have set the SMT-1500C to display always on, but I can't keep the display from rotating status screen.  I want to lock the display screen to wattage and load percentage.

I have read the product manual and see no mention of how to do this.  Is this possible on the SMT-1500C?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

The SMT1500C features two main display/menu options – standard and advanced.

The standard menu is the default setting, and while it does not contain all of the menus and attributes of the advanced menu, the home screen on the standard menu is locked to displaying Load(%) and Battery(%) - it does not display load wattage though.

The advanced menu automatically scrolls through multiple screens.

Thanks for the reply.  So it can't be locked showing wattage which Is my main need.  Shame.  I would have thought a premium business product would have more features and abilities than a consumer product like my BR-1500G's.  I use wattage to show the activity level on each computer.  The big bright EL screens on the BR-1500G's can be seen from across the room so I always know what is going on with each computer.
