The drive has a rotary POT for selecting motor and current settings. Are there any specifications for the 0-2 POT settings that are labeled as 'reserved ' in the manual?

Well, while I can understand someone arguing with "precise ", one could make the case that "reserved " IS the specification for settings 0-2, seriously.
Since it must be cheaper to buy an off the shelf 16 position switch than to have a custom 13 position one made, it is very likely those positions do nothing, and are not a secret mode only special people get to know about.
If you have a 'scope and a current probe you could experiment, I'd be shocked if any of those settings damaged the drive.

hehe I 've actually tried all the settings and they seem to have lower current values than the 'allowable ' settings anyway. I'll probably just check with a voltage / current probe like Tinker suggested.
