4.Opertating Modes
4.1. RF Mode
The charger emits a RF wave, similar to those emitted by wireless residential telephone. This wave reaches few meters (reach varies
according to the environment surrounding the charger, thickness and content of walls…).
When the ColumbaTD is inside the RF zone (generally inside or very close to the residence), the device deactivates some of its
functions (as the GPS). The blue luminous sign flashes regularly.
In this mode, because of the deactivation of some functions, the autonomy and elapsed time between the charges are considerably
lengthened. The Alert button stays functional and can be used in case of uneasiness or serious problem.
*NOTE: the Battery-block, if fixed to the charger, may supply the charger for several hours, even in the case of power failure. If the
charger is moved (ex: during a trip) by leaving the battery-block on its base, the charger keeps emitting a RF wave that deactivates
the ColumbaTD GPS. The ColumbaTD will falsely assume being in the residence.
4.2. Regular Mode
When the ColumbaTD is outside the RF zone, every functions of the ColumbaTD are activated. On a regular basis, the ColumbaTD
seeks and registers its geographic position, using its assisted GPS unit (A-GPS). The device regularly compares its position to the
map of the secured zone previously transmitted.
The blue luminous sing flashes regularly. A faster flickering occurs, when the ColumbaTD seeks its geographic position. A quick
flickering of the red luminous sign indicates that the batteries are low. It must be recharged using the battery-block.
