Changing The Sleep Mode Setting - TracVision M9 User Manual

Changing the Sleep Mode Setting

When the vessel has come to a stop and holds its position for one
minute (e.g., at a dock), the antenna unit enters Sleep Mode, which
locks the antenna in place to conserve power. As soon as the vessel
moves beyond a 1° - 2° window or the signal level changes
significantly, Sleep Mode automatically turns off and the system
begins tracking the satellite again.
KVH recognizes that some customers might not want to take
advantage of this convenient feature. In this case, it is possible to
disable Sleep Mode.
