Power Management and Battery Life

What makes your Micronet display possible is Raymarine'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 Micronet display becomes a virtually perpetual device.
Power status is indicated by two icons on the display:
Battery Level
Used together these icons will show the condition of the power supply.
Bright Sunny Day
Overcast Day
Night
LOW Power
If using the displays at night, power usage can be reduced dramatically
by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or Off. If Backlighting is not
required on displays located below decks it is best to set them to "Local"
backlighting control (see page 28 S38) so that power is not being
wasted in displays which may not be visible from the one being viewed.
Note: If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter how
much the display is subjected to bright sunlight no further charging is
required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.
If the displays are to be stored for a long period of time before next use
(Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged before storage.
