If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system for a period of 12 hours your Micronet instrument will switch off to conserve power. A “POWER SAVE” alarm will sound before the instrument system is switched off. Pressing any button within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding will allow the system to remain switched on.
Backlighting will automatically shut down/off when operated in daylight.
Artificial light WILL NOT recharge the battery. Placing your Micronet instrument close to an artificial light will seriously damage the instrument. Only recharge in natural daylight.
Applying External Power
In cases where instruments are mounted permanently below decks it will be necessary to apply an external power source to prevent complete discharge of the built in battery.
Connections on the rear of the instrument allow a 9V to 24V DC power source to be connected. Connections can be made to the vessels DC system or a 9V battery pack may be connected. It is recommended that permanent connection is only made when the instruments are permanently fixed to the vessel and not when the clip brackets are used.
Connection to a 9V (PP3) battery will fully recharge the internal battery over a period of 24 hours.
