Extended GPS test
The beacon may be tested for GPS functionality, however, this may only
be done once in the five-year lifetime of the battery due to the significant
drain on the battery. This test is not necessary at any time in the life of
the beacon, but is made available in the event that the beacon owner
wishes to verify internal GPS engine viability.
An extended GPS test may be invoked by holding the switch in test
position for 10 seconds after Self-Test completes. The display will show
the message LONG GPS DATA TEST START while the internal GPS is
acquiring coordinates data. Once the data is acquired, the display will
post the message GPS TEST √ followed by the LAT/LON coordinates as
a confirmation that the data was successfully acquired.
See Appendix E for digital display information.
