Newbie 0 #1 May 30, 2003 At the moment im turning mine off at the end of each days jumping. I did overhear in the packing shed though that turning them off runs the batteries down faster compared to if you just leave it to turn itself off after its 14 hours "on" time has expired. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Thanks "Skydiving is a door" Happythoughts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rigging65 0 #4 May 30, 2003 According to AirTec, it doesn't matter if you turn it off or leave it on...providing you're not going to be driving up and down hills (which makes the unit work as it's sensing alti change.) "...and once you had tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you long to return..."

Gadget 0 #5 May 30, 2003 My rigger tells me to turn it off after a days jumping.If you start jumping the next day and you forgot to put it of and on again it could ,after it's 14 hours, switch it self off as you are catching the earlybirdload.And to me my rigger is god( the guy who is watching over me) so i do what he says. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes??? My logbook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
