System Parsing / Response Time:
The initial System Parsing time will range from 4-6 minutes on average as the system identifies
and populates the required parameters. As the user navigates the device's menu note that a
small delay may occur in populating the data on the screen as the system is constantly
performing system parsing and system house-keeping functions.
