Sleep Mode - Lowrance iFINDER Expedition C Operation Instructions Manual

You should expect no immediate, significant change in the current con-
ditions. Whatever it is, the present weather should continue until you
see the symbol change.
Rain symbol: indicates a stable low pressure trend. Barometer
is typically falling. Predicts an increasing chance of some rain or
other precipitation from an approaching low pressure weather front.
Storm symbol: indicates an unstable low pressure trend.
Barometer is typically falling very quickly. Predicts a rapidly
increasing chance of an approaching thunderstorm or a snowstorm if
temperatures are freezing.
Whenever the Weather Symbol box switches to the Storm symbol, the
unit will display a "Weather Storm Watch" alarm message. The mes-
sage will remain until you clear it by pressing the
NOTE:
If the unit fails to add a new reading in the last three hours, it will
delete all the old history and start over again. This usually occurs
when the unit is turned on after being completely turned off for
more than three hours.

Sleep Mode

When the iFINDER has more information to work with, it can provide
better weather predictions. In order to help with this, we have designed
the iFINDER with a Sleep Mode that allows it to conserve battery life,
while occasionally waking up to take a pressure reading. This allows
the unit to maintain a pressure history when you are not using it.
Caution:
If you want to record pressure history for weather prediction,
you must acquire a 3D position fix before putting the unit into
Sleep Mode. Once it has a fix and an accurate local time read-
ing, the unit will continue recording correctly timed pressure
readings even if the unit loses its position.
