Caution

This specification refers to the Micron Nav Modem. The Micron Range (Sonar/

Seasprite, Echosounder, Micron Nav Modem) work on a voltage range of 12-48V

DC with the exception of the Micron Data Modem which uses 12-24V DC. If you

are unsure which product you are using either opt for a lower voltage or contact
