Use the
Tracking On/Off
option to set the SHOUT nano tracking mode. When
Enable
Tracking
is selected, the tracking symbol
changes from dimmed blue to bright white (see
). The SHOUT nano immediately turns the GPS receiver on to acquire a GPS fix and
then attempts to transmit a position report. The next position report is sent automatically
based on the reporting rate set under the
Report Rate
option. A countdown timer to the next
report is displayed inside the parentheses next to the tracking symbol (see
). When
tracking is enabled and the SHOUT nano sleeps in between reports, the status LED
flashes
once every five seconds. It can be turned off during sleep to reduce power consumption by
using the Settings > LED option. The emergency 911 button can be activated at any time during
tracking mode or non-tracking mode. The SHOUT nano can also be powered up at any time and
be used as a messaging device.
When waking up to transmit a location report, the SHOUT nano antennas must have full view of
