If the screen of your AutoSort Connect turns on and then goes blank when starting up, the backup battery in the control may need to charge. Open up the control and look at the back of the display for the board with the small fan. If L1 and L2 LEDs are rapidly flashing, the battery needs to charge. Keep the control powered on to charge the battery. Depending on how dead the battery is, this could take several hours. The control will automatically start up once the battery has enough charge to safely start.
