In addition to mortality emails, the VHF will change to the Mortality VHF and, if a duty cycle
was created during programming, will follow the duty cycle until activity is detected or a higher
priority event occurs (such as a low battery or a collar release attempt).
In order for the GPS Collar to exit mortality mode, the collar must undergo thirty seconds of
activity. (The thirty seconds of activity does not have to be consecutive but should be within the
mortality period chosen.)
Collar Break-Off
Your GPS Collar can be remotely broken off whenever you choose (if the collar is not in low
battery). Once you break-off your GPS Collar and recover it, you can download the data it
contains. In addition to breaking off the collar whenever you choose, you can also program the
GPS Collar to break-off on low battery condition (the program defaults to this option). Once the
GPS Collar goes into low battery condition, the GPS Collar will be broken off automatically.
This option is useful if the GPS Collar's batteries become low before the collar has been broken
off.
Battery
Your GPS Collar has two batteries, a main battery and a backup battery. Once the GPS Collar
has depleted the main battery, it will switch to using the backup battery. It is considered to be in
low battery mode once it has switched to the battery backup.
The collar may also be declared in low battery mode if the main battery has been depleted
enough to not be able to send data to the satellite. The emails received by the customer will
include a note about the battery starting to reach the end of its ability to send data to the satellite.
You can then decide whether to send an email to blow off the collar.
A collar in low battery mode will no longer take GPS fixes, nor will it transmit its data to a
satellite. There is a low battery mode VHF beep pattern which lets the customer know the collar
is in a low battery condition.
If the collar was programmed to break-off on low battery, it will perform the break-off
immediately after going into low battery. Depending on the outcome of the break-off, the VHF
transmitter will indicate that the break-off activation was successful or not. If you have
programmed your GPS Collar not to break-off in low battery mode, then it will run the VHF
transmitter continuously with a triple pulse at 27 ppm.
