1.1Introduction

Your Micronet instrument is powered for life by the environment. Although feature packed and highly visible in all conditions, current demand is so low, and the supply so efficient, that the solar-powered display is self sufficient. Combined with other instruments in the Micronet range this display becomes part of a complete navigational system.

1.3Power Management and Battery Life

What makes your mn100 instrument possible is Tacktick’s revolutionary approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the sun to provide power, a mn100 instrument becomes a virtually perpetual device.

Power status is indicated by two icons on the instrument display:

Battery Level and Charge Rate

Used together these icons will show the condition of your instrument’s power supply.
