NOTICE
After a successful connection, check your range for the first time.
Make yourself familiar with the wireless range around your boat by
starting the engine and walking away from the boat with your MOB
Unit. The WiMEA system has a solid range of at least 15 feet (5 m)
and up to 30 feet (10 m). You may experience an even longer
range, as the wireless signal can vary depending on the environ-
ment around your boat.
NOTICE
NOTICE
WiMEA will automatically time out after 10 hours
to save power. You can extend your connection by
pressing the button on the Boat Unit within 2
minutes when you hear the time out warning sound.
Range
When going out of range or if the MOB Unit is
submerged the system will enter MOB Mode
(Man Overboard Mode) and stop the engine. The
Boat Unit will give a sound signal and the light
will flash red to indicate MOB Mode.
Please note that the engine will stop within 1
second after the MOB Unit is submerged by 4
inches (10 cm) of water at any distance from
the Boat Unit.
A bucket or similar will not be adequate for
testing the system. Always test the system in
the ocean/lake.
