I'm not sure why you addressed me on this when I specifically said that power consumption WOULD NOT be increased when a paired transmitter goes out of range.I assume this to mean that if the computer is scanning for a paired transmitter that is out or range, that the power consumption will be increased.
Because, I think it does increase, see post #10. I emailed Shearwater for a definitive answer.I'm not sure why you addressed me on this when I specifically said that power consumption WOULD NOT be increased when a paired transmitter goes out of range.
Conjecture alert...
I would guess that the AI receiver radio receiver is turned on and off, plus the additional CPU code to process that info. Thus Shearwater's recommendation about turning off AI if it’s not used to preserve battery life.
