2.2a User programmability
You may choose to program your units in one of three different ways. Those choices are
template mode, repeat mode, or always on mode. Always on Mode is not available in all
units: see
available options
for more information.
Template Mode
Your GPS unit will attempt to acquire locations based upon a series of unique templates
that you create and schedule into the calendar. The user has the option to create up to 26
different templates.
Repeat Mode
Your GPS unit will attempt to acquire locations based upon a user determined fixed
interval of up to 48 hours.
2.2b GPS timeout
The GPS timeout is the user programmed period of time that the GPS will remain on.
Once this time period has been reached the GPS will turn off even if it has yet to acquire
a location. You can program the GPS timeout to 60, 90 or 120 seconds. The timeout you
set has a direct correlation to the success rate of your GPS location attempts.
2.2c GPS additional time
While the GPS receiver can turn off shortly after it acquires a satellite, programming it to
stay on longer will allow it to find more satellites and acquire a more precise fix. The
setting which allows this is called GPS Additional Time, and can be programmed by the
user to any number up to the GPS Timeout. The GPS Timeout is still the limit that the
GPS will remain on and will not be extended by GPS Additional Time.
Note
: The maximum GPS additional time that is allowed is 120 seconds. However, after
much testing, it has been determined that any setting over 45 seconds is not needed and
will further use decrease your battery life.
2.2d Temperature Sensor
Your unit is equipped with a temperature sensor. Each time a GPS location is attempted
a temperature reading will be output from the temperature sensor into the memory.
Note:
Whenever using GPS units with rechargeable batteries, please do not do anything
that may help to raise the natural temperature of the units when in the environment.
Placing the units in a hot car, on metal, in plastic bags, etc, may cause the units to
