VAMO Changing the Batteries/no2 mode Question

[wv2win]

I use my VAMO in the no2 mode (variable wattage). When I switch out the batteries, does it stay in the no2 mode or automatically switch back to the no1 mode requiring me to manually change it back??

Thanks for your help.

All of mine stay in No2.

It will stay, your display should tell you.

Thanks for the replies. So if wattage is the numerical setting on the screen, you are definitely in the no2 mode. Is that about it?

No. It will always show a number and a small 'v' or 'w', in both AVG (No1) and RMS (No2). The only way to tell is to switch it (holding a button for a long time) and, if needed, switch it back.

There is a thread here that has a nice manual, but here are the basics:
The display is "##.# v/w"
The #s are your power setting, the small v/w on the right indicates VV or VW. (" 3.7v" or " 8.0w" etc)

Pushing left/right buttons scales the setting up or down

Holding left button shows battery voltage. Holding right shows atty resistance.

Holding either one for much longer switches between No1 and No2 - it shows the 'new' setting, so if you are in No2 (RMS, better) it will change to AVG (No1) and display "No1".

Holding both at once switches from VV to VW.
