Figure 19: Geofences Enabled/Disabled 

The 

Geofences

 menu limits you to a just few options including: (1) browsing a list of fences 

loaded into the device through SatTerm, (2) viewing the map of each fence and its type of 

notification (arrival or departure), and (3) enabling/disabling a fence. Enter other geofence 

features through SatTerm. 

When a fence or fences are enabled, the Geofences symbol  

  at the top of the screen 

changes from dimmed gray to bright white. The SHOUT ts immediately checks the GPS 

receiver to determine whether the device is inside an enabled fence. If the SHOUT ts is 

inside an enabled fence, the 

Geofences

 symbol turns green and the fence label also turns 

green with the word 

Active

 attached to it. When a fence(s) is enabled and the SHOUT ts 

sleeps, the status LED  

  flashes once every five seconds. You can turn it off during sleep 

to reduce power consumption by using the 

Settings

 > 

LED

 menu. 

Enable/Disable

Enabled fences 

Labels are 
dimmed on
