Power off Display 

 

If the 

Power off Display

 is selected, only the Display Unit is turned OFF and the AIS functionality of the 

Transponder will still be active. Note that the ship list will need some time to recover when turning the 
Display unit on again. This is dependent on when the messages from the different vessels are received.  
The message logs for sent and received messages will also be lost. 
Note that the Transponder unit will issue an alarm when the display is shut down, and there may be no 
means to acknowledge this alarm if the display is turned off!
