IV. Switching off

Xplorer 1 – 2 – 3 - 4

Switching off automatically (Auto-off):

Your SKYWATCH

Xplorer goes off automatically 1 minute after the button was last pressed or after the wind was last measured. This means

that it does not stop while the impeller is still turning (more than 10 seconds).
Switching off manually :

In order to switch Xplorer off manually (valid in every mode), hold the button pressed down until it switches off, then release.
IMPORTANT ! Permanent operation possible :

Either at the time of the manual switching off by releasing the button during the flashing of the large digits, or at the time of automatic switching

off by pressing briefly on the button during the flashing.

During permanent operation, any pressure on the button returns Xplorer into automatic off mode.

Note : if the instrument is on permanently the battery discharges rapidly (400 to 500 hours according to the model).
