Battery Drainage and Self-Switching Issues
Analyzing causes of self-switching that can cause battery drain
Problem description:
The Liberty head may switch on by itself, causing premature battery drainage.
Possible causes:
- Flooded handset connector
- Firmware bug causing self-switching
- Faulty pressure sensor module
Step-by-step troubleshooting:
- Update to the latest firmware version
- Check handset connectors for flooding or corrosion, clean them using soft tissue, white winegar and q-tips if necessary.
- If the Liberty starts into the dive mode, check syslog immediately after the spurious power on - watch for the cause of the start.
- To check the syslog, enter the Service menu, then select Syslog and check last startup event.
- If you see a Start cause "Dive" then start with replacing pressure sensor modules
When to contact service: If the head continues self-switching then please report an Issue using the DivesoftApp, mention the dates and times of last spurious power on and include the divelogs and syslogs.
