Power sockets, 12 V
Sockets
On-board sockets 1 and 2
OA
and the plug for electrical
accessories have a combined
maximum rating of 5 A.
Socket
2
OA
is intended solely
for accessories mounted in the
cockpit or secured to the han-
dlebars, for example GPS,
Roadbook, Tripmaster, etc.
L
Note:
The supply to the sockets is
switched off automatically if
battery voltage is low or the
load exceeds the maximum
rating.
Operating electrical
accessories
L
Note:
You can start using electrical
accessories only when the igni-
tion is switched on, in other
words when the ignition key is
in the
U
position. The acces-
sory remains operational if the
ignition is subsequently
switched off.
In order to ensure that the drain
on the on-board power supply
system is minimised, the supply
to the power sockets is cut off
approximately 15 minutes after
the ignition is switched off, and
it is also temporarily interrupted
during the start procedure.
