Setting Sleep Mode

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 (or enters Search Mode to find the satellite).

Use the flowchart in Figure 3-8 if you wish to disable Sleep Mode, or if

you wish to restore the original Sleep Mode setting.
