SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON/OFF
The device is switched on by placing the power switch in the 'I' position. The device is switched off by placing the power switch in the '0' position.
The status LED light will be green when the device is switched ON.
SLEEP MODE BY APC
The device is equipped with KITE's APC system (angle power control). Without having to switch the button, it will put the stabilizing electronics to sleep mode
when the instrument is in rest position, and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and
comfort of use.
-
REST POSITION (Hanging from the neck or standing on a table) The instrument is tilted to a vertical position by 60° or more.
The stabilization electronics automatically go into SLEEP mode, the stautus LED blinks red.
-
ACTIVE POSITION (during observation) The insturment is tilted to a horizontal position by 40° or more.
The electronics automatically become active, the status LED lights green.
AUTOMATIC OFF BY TIMER
No matter the position the instrument is in (active mode or sleep mode), 90 minutes after placing the switch to ON, the instrument will completely switch OFF
again. At this moment the status LED will go dark.
NOTE : When the instrument was in SLEEP mode and automatically entered OFF mode after 90 minutes, the power switch might still be in the ON position.
To re-activate the instrument, turn the power switch to OFF and to ON again. The 90 minute cycle starts again.
