Lo
The factory default.
Use this mode in conventional cars.
Hi
The threshold voltage is higher than "Lo".
For cars that continue to supply power from
the cigarette lighter socket even when the car
engine is turned off, we recommend to change
"Hi" mode. In "Hi" mode, the appliance detects a
small voltage drop and turns off, which prevents
dead battery.
The appliance may not work properly in "Hi" mode
if the car battery is low voltage, e.g., the vehicle
has an idle reduction function or the car battery is
depleted. In this case, change to "Lo" mode.
