800 SERIES USER MANUAL
PROGRAMMING
Setting the GPS Synchronization
Function (GPS-equipped Lanterns
Only)
To activate the GPS synchronization functionality of
the 800 Series lantern SYnC must be set to “on”.
Once activated, GPS-equipped lanterns
automatically synchronize with GPS-equipped
lanterns set to the same flash character; however, it
can take several minutes for lanterns to synchronize.
The synchronization period is dependent on the
number of satellites overhead and any obstructions
from buildings or mountainous terrain.
GPS-equipped lanterns will be
synched to Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC). The date/time settings
on GPS-equipped units cannot be
modified.
To toggle GPS Synchronization on or off:
1. If you have not already done so,
establish a connection to the lantern.
2. The lantern LEDs will flash to confirm
the lantern is ready to receive
commands.
3. Navigate to the SYnC menu.
4. Unlock the existing setting
5. Toggle between “on” and “off
6. Lock the new setting
7. The lantern LEDs will flash to confirm
that the new setting has been locked.
GPS Status (GPS-equipped
Lanterns Only)
GPS-equipped lanterns have the following four
additional status flags:
Good:
GPS Satellite signal found and locked
PAuS:
GPS function has been paused to
conserve energy. This will occur when GPS
function is not in use; for example, when the
lantern is in “stead-on” mode (flash code
001),
or when the lantern is in dated shutdown.
SrcH

nLoC

establish a connection to the lantern.
2. The lantern LEDs will flash to confirm
the lantern is ready to receive
commands.

state will scroll in from the right.
