SHOUT 3G User Guide (Version 1.0.0)
38
The SHOUT 3G’s default setting is to discard all tracking reports that were failed
to transmit because of poor signal quality. Q Rpt allows user to force failed
tracking reports to stay in the Outbox waiting to be resent at a later time. User is
referred to the Outbox section on description of when failed tracking reports get
resent.
The SHOUT 3G’s default setting is to send all tracking reports, even those with
invalid GPS position. Blk Rpt gives user the option to configure the SHOUT 3G to
send only tracking reports with a valid GPS position.
The SHOUT 3G’s default setting is to log and save all position reports in its
circular memory. This feature can be turned off with the Data Log menu. When
the 3G’s memory is full, the oldest reports are over-written. SatTerm can be used
to retrieve all position reports saved on the 3G.
The Stats menu has a countdown timer to the next report on top of the screen
and is replaced with Off when tracking is disabled. The bottom half of the screen
displays the last successful report sent by tracking or emergency notification.
Check-In, Way Point, free-text and canned messages are not considered as
“reports” and, therefore, will not be displayed even if a message was sent
successfully.
After the red emergency button in the back of the 3G is pressed, user can
deactivate the emergency alert by selecting the Cancel 911 option. The
cancellation message is then queued in the Outbox to be transmitted. The
emergency mode ends immediately. The emergency LED is turned off and the
top bar turns from red back to black.
Powering the 3G off will not cancel the emergency mode. User MUST select Cancel
911 option to cancel emergency.
