In the event of power failure, the GPS 150 can automatically turn off the display
while using battery power, if desired. This will greatly increase the GPS 150’s battery
life while navigating without aircraft power. During the time the display is off, the
GPS 150 will continue to navigate and track satellites, but not display information
until a key is pressed, or a knob is turned.
