Life Estimation

The ATSFixes for Satellite Collars

Programming Software will estimate the life that you can

expect from your GPS Collar. If you need more life from your GPS Collar than what is
estimated, you can go back and adjust the program to give your GPS Collar a longer life. You
might decide to take fewer fixes each day, or you might program the VHF beacon to operate on a
limited basis, also called a transmitter duty cycle.

Important Note: calculations for Life estimates assume that the batteries are new.
