When powered up for the first time, the BMV will by default display 100%
state of charge. See section 4.2.1, setting 70 to change this this
behaviour.
When in normal mode the backlight of the BMV switches off after no key
has been pressed for 60 seconds. Press any key to restore backlight.
The cable with integrated temperature sensor has to be purchased
separately (part no: ASS000100000). This temperature sensor is not
interchangeable with other Victron temperature sensors, as used with
Multis/Quattros or battery chargers.

(see also section 4.1: using the menus)
a) Restore factory settings
Press and hold SETUP and SELECT simultaneously for 3 seconds
b) Manual synchronization.
Press and hold the up and down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds
c) Silence audible alarm
An alarm is acknowledged when any button is pressed. However, the

1.4 Real-time data displayed on a smartphone
With the VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle real time data and alarms can
be displayed on Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and other
devices
Note:
A VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle is not required for BMV-712, since it
has Bluetooth built-in.
