• It may take longer or shorter time to receive, depending
on the environment. If you find difficulties receiving, we
recommend that you change to a better location.
NOTE:
• The GPS logger function requires inserting a microSD
card.
• Once the GPS logger function is turned ON, the trans
-
ceiver continuously stores the position data from the
GPS receiver, even if the transceiver is rebooted. To
cancel this function, turn the function OFF.
During this function is ON, and when the transceiver is
turned OFF, the log file will be closed. Then the trans-
ceiver is turned ON and Positioning is carried out by the
GPS receiver, a new log file will be created.
• When a free space of the microSD card is lost, this func
-
tion will be automatically paused.
To use the GPS logger function with the transceiver in the
Sleep mode, the transceiver has an exclusive mode that
is used only the GPS Logger function.
For example, when you are moving, and if you don’t
want to use the transceiver as a transceiver, but you
want to use it just a GPS logger for a long time,
this mode is useful. See page 5-29 for details of the
“GPS Logger Only” item.
NOTE:
When the “GPS Select” item is set to “Internal GPS,” the
battery pack or batteries may become exhausted soon,
due to the internal GPS receiver working all the time. To
minimize this, use the “Power Save (Internal GPS)”
func-
tion in GPS Menu.
