ray, hold down the up and down buttons together for 5 seconds and it'll then say "temp locked" or "power locked", now while in this up/down locked mode, when you press either up or down 2 times it will start to cycle through the profiles and with each successive up or down press it advances to the next profile, there are 8 profiles stored in the chip and it will continuously cycle through these 8 profiles with each successive up/down button press... when you see the profile you want to be in, stop pressing up or down and it will then stay in that profile... you can at that point again press and hold up/down for 5 seconds again which will take it out of this locked mode and it will remain in the profile last displayed.
there are profiles on board as I programmed it for ni200, ss430, ss316 and ti, there should be 2 profiles that don't include any of these, and those would be your regular power profiles. I believe as shipped to you there are a total of 3 different ni200 profiles, 1 ss430, 1 ss316, 1 Ti and the remaining 2 are power profiles... truth is that regardless of which profile you happen to be in though, when you fire a regular kanthal coil on this mod it will automatically default to power mode anyway, so no matter what profile you are actually in, you can just set your wattage and it will vape in power mode, even if temp is displayed when not firing...
in a power profile the default on screen main view should be showing watts to be raised/lowered with the up/down buttons instead of a temperature.
if you happen to be in a profile that is showing a temperature as the main screens display instead of the wattage, then you are still in a temperature controlled profile.
* in a nutshell there are 2 different lock modes of the dna chip, one is the up/down lock mode and the other is the fire button lock mode.
*to enter or exit the up/down locked mode you hold up & down together for 5 seconds... in this locked mode the mod is locked from using up/down to change the main displayed parameter and also from this locked mode you can then switch profiles by repeatedly pressing either up or down.
*the second lock mode is the firing lock mode, which is entered or exited by pressing the fire button 5 times in a row... when in this locked mode the mod won't fire, it is essentially locked, and in this mode is where you can then adjust the secondary parameter of temperature or watts. while in this fire locked mode if you press up & down for 5 seconds it will then enter the adjustment mode to allow you to raise or lower the secondary parameter which can be either watts or temperature, depending on the profile it happens to be in.
to put it simply, there are 2 adjustable parameters, temperature and wattage. one will be on the primary display, while the other will need to be accessed in the fire locked mode. which one is on the primary display and which one is in the secondary position requiring adjustment in the fire locked mode is determined by the profile selected (AND WEATHER IT IS SET UP AS "TEMP DOMINANT MODE" OR NOT IN THAT PROFILE). all of this is customizable in escribe but should be perfectly usable as it is set up now.
let me know if anything needs further clarification. I wish I could sit down with you for 10 minutes and show you, it's really is simpler than it may sound here, I'm sure if you play with it a bit you should get it.
