I think you have the monochrome style Gryphon, not the CS/CTS, right? If so. the ignition should ALWAYS be ON (engine off) when connecting the unit to the OBDII port so that it can initialize (boot) properly. Once it's gone through the boot sequence, you can either turn the ignition off or continue with programming.

If you ever disconnect the battery, it's equivalent to disconnecting the Gryphon, so, disconnect the Gryphon too. Then reconnect battery, ignition ON, reconnect Gryphon.

You can disconnect the Gryphon with the ignition in any state, but I'd personally have the ignition OFF.

When you receive your custom tune, I would load it without opening the custom options menu first and drive it that way for a week or so. If there IS a TS error, it won't matter much, but you DO want to see how the tune feels without introducing any confusing interactions. Then, if you determine the TS needs to be adjusted, or you want to "experiment, go ahead and "retune" it to the same tune but with the Custom Options step.

Once you have your custom tune, it's possible you may have "lost" your "previous settings" file. If you DO have one, and you "Load Previous Settings", they will replace anything Bill has programmed if different. So, the first time, I would NOT "reload", but would check and set BOTH the TS and GR. All the other settings (shift points, rev limit, etc.,) should be exactly what Bill programmed. Opening that menu though always loads the "placeholder" TS and GR values at first, even with custom tunes, the rest should be Bill's settings.
