Turning a CYPRES off - is it worth it?

Recommended Posts

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

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.)

For there you have been, and there you long to return..."

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???
