Ok I think I got this thing finally figured out on how it works. My Rep at Boston just went over the basic instructions and sent me the video on it, which didn't tell me anything I already didn't know.
Ok so after playing with the pump last night, I've come to the conclusion that the pump might have a beneficial point. Let me explain. We're told in order to deflate the implant we press the deflate button until we feel and or hear a click and it will lock and deflate. Now my pump wasn't doing that, I'd get a click and would have to hold it at that spot or play with the deflate button ( pressing harder or softer ) while squeezing the implant to get it to deflate.
Last night I tried pressing the button much harder. Like I was trying to push it out the other side of the block and I got a second click that did lock the pump in deflate mode. I tried it several times last night and each time to get it locked I had to press hard until I got the second click. So the first click is either a "set" mode before locking or as I prefer a momentary release point - something that if you over pump it and get it rock hard but didn't want it that hard, you could press and hold at the first click to release some of the pressure without having to lock the pump then have to pump it again to the correct level, it would just release what you wanted and stay in inflate mode.
Also the auto inflation is evidently because it's not locked in deflate and is in inflate mode and pressure on the reservoir will force fluid into the implant filling it up but not fully since there isn't enough pressure to do that. Once I got the second click and deflated it, I squeezed to get as much out as I could and it's super flaccid (like it would normally be when it worked right) and hasn't filled up at all, it's stayed the same all night and so far today as well when it would normally be at around 20 to 30 percent inflation by now.
Just some further information and help it could just be that my pump isn't fully broken in yet. But that's how mine works so far and if you're having issues with your Tenacio try this and see if it works.

Re: Further observations on the Tenacio pump
I've got a similar issue with my Titan "One Touch". I find it very hard to get into "drain mode". Like you, I just had to hold the button with one hand and squeeze my cock with the other. Eventually I discovered that if I pressed very, very hard while I was squeezing out my cock with the other hand, it would sometimes (only sometimes) flip into drain mode. And once it did, it could take a lot of pressure on the pump to get it back into inflate mode.
Whatever. I'm used to how it works and it's all good, but it isn't quite how it was described.
