Default V7 vario resetting in flight

Hi,



I have a V7 vario connected to an Oz FLARM and HX4700 PDA. All devices get powered from V7.



If the PDA is not 100% charged, the V7 resets in flight. When it happens, FLARM restarts and the program that runs on the PDA looses GPS signal.



Usually the program comes back as soon the FLARM regains the PS signal, but every now and then, the programs drops to he operating system and the flight stats are lost.



Has anyone experienced this problem? Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated.



Thanks

Jarek


Jarek,

The 1 amp max 5v is only for the PDA side of the V7.

The GPS side outputs 12v to the GPS at Line amps.
