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 26 -s35) so that power is not being
wasted in displays which may not be visible from the one being viewed.
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. If necessary connect to a 9 to 30V DC power supply for 24
hrs prior to storage, using the external power leads.
