To honor the real-life workings of stealth technology (which wouldn't work in space, but special considerations can be made for the sake of roleplaying and fun), the second you broadcast a radio message or activate a maneuvering thruster while 'cloaked' is the moment you become visible to anything running active sensors. Compressed air maneuvering thrusters shouldn't register however, but I could be wrong.
