Like any other Electronic instruments your Micronet system is designed
to serve only as an aid to navigation and it remains the skippers
responsibility to maintain a permanent watch and be aware of developing
situations.

1.1 Introduction
Your Micronet display is powered for life by the environment. Although
feature packed and highly visible in all conditions, current demand is so
low, and the supply so efficient, that the solar-powered display is self
sufficient. Combined with other displays in the Micronet range this
display becomes part of a complete navigational system.

backlighting,
20 nights at economy backlighting without charge
Units of display: Boat Speed (knots, km per hour, statute miles per hour)
Distance (nautical miles, statute miles, kilometres)
Depth (metres, feet, fathoms)
Wind Speed (knots, metres per second, Beaufort)
Alarm: Audible Alarm for Depth, Wind and MOB
Weight: 285g (0.63lbs)

Frequency: 868 MHz or 916 MHz
This unit can be controlled using the T113 Remote Display
1.3 Power Management and Battery Life
What makes your mn100 display possible is Raymarine’s revolutionary
approach to power management. By reducing the amount of power
being used by the electronics and maximizing the potential of the sun to
provide power, a mn100 display becomes a virtually perpetual device.
Power status is indicated by two icons on the display:
Battery Level and Charge Rate
Used together these icons will show the condition of the power supply.
mn100 Dual Digital Display

Information
3
If using the displays at night, power usage can be reduced dramatically
by switching the Backlighting to level 1 or Off. If Backlighting is not
required on displays located below decks it is best to set them to “Local”
Backlighting control (see page 27 -s37) so that power is not being
wasted in displays which may not be visible from the one being viewed.
If the internal battery is fully charged then it does not matter how
much the display is subjected to bright sunlight no further charging
is required and the Charge Rate Indicator will remain low.
If the displays are to be stored for a long period of time before next
use (Over Winter) ensure that the batteries are fully charged before
storage. If necessary connect to a 9-30V DC power supply for 24
hrs prior to storage.

Battery is low with no charging.
It is recommended that the
instrument be left in daylight for
some time for the battery to
recover, or charge from an external
9-30V power source. A fully
discharged battery will recharge in
approximately 12 hours of direct
bright sunlight.
LOW Power

Sleep Mode
If there is no boat speed or change in heading registered on the system
for a period of 12 hours your Micronet display will switch off to conserve
power. A "POWER SAVE" alarm will sound before the system switches
off. Pressing any button within 10 seconds of the alarm sounding will
allow the system to remain switched on.
Backlighting will automatically shut down/off when operated in daylight.
AArrttiiffiicciiaalllliigghhttWWIILLLLNNOOTTrreecchhaarrggeetthheebbaatttteerryy..Placing your Micronet
display close to an artificial light will seriously damage the display.
Only recharge in natural daylight.
Applying External Power
In cases where displays are mounted permanently below decks it will be
necessary to apply an external power source to prevent complete
discharge of the built in battery.
Connections on the rear of the display allow a 9V to 30V DC power
source to be connected. Connections can be made to the vessels DC
system or a 9V battery pack may be connected. It is recommended that
permanent connection is only made when the displays are permanently
fixed to the vessel and not when the clip brackets are used.
Connection to a 9V (PP3) battery will fully recharge the internal battery
over a period of 24 hours.
1.4 Safety and Disposal
Your Micronet display contains Manganese Lithium Dioxide batteries
which should be disposed of correctly. Do not dispose of any instrument
in domestic waste. Refer to regulations in force in your country.
If in doubt return the instrument to Raymarine Ltd. for correct disposal.

display’s power saving feature and will not operate in daylight.
2.4 Audible Signals and Alarms
At stages during its operation your Micronet display will beep to indicate
alarms or moments of importance.
Power-up Once operating as part of a network the display will issue a single
beep as it is switched on by pressing the button for 2
second.
Button Press A single beep is issued each time a button is pressed. A second
beep is issued after a 2 second hold down of the button.
Timer A single beep will be issued at each minute of the countdown.
With 1 minute left to go a beep will sound every 10 seconds. With
10 seconds to go a beep will sound every second.
Countdown complete will be indicated by a single burst of three
beeps.

P17 Wind Shift, Head or Lift
Indicates changes in the wind against a compass heading.
Spotting these wind changes is the key to fast sailing upwind.
The system automatically detects the mean wind direction by
averaging over a time period of 2 minutes to 60 minutes (this
time period can be changed in setup). However, to manually overide this
automatic calculation and set the mean wind direction:
1. If a Wind Transmitter is included in your Micronet system then simply
press the button; (the current wind direction is stored as the
mean wind direction and displayed for 5 seconds during which time
the and buttons may be used to adjust the value.)
If the mean wind direction changes, press again.
2. If you do not have a Wind Transmitter included, sail close hauled and
press the button then tack and, once close hauled, press the
button again.
If the mean wind direction changes then the instrument may be
updated press and holding the button while sailing on port tack,
the button while sailing on starboard tack or the button
while head to wind.
See Raymarine’s “Using wind shifts to your advantage” sheet for further
information.
