The Call Out option is useful when you need the device to transmit at a specific time and/or
want to generate a daily heart beat message for each link. Refer to the “SatTerm for SHOUT
ts” manual [2].

The SHOUT ts’ default setting is to discard all tracking reports that failed to transmit
because of poor signal quality. Use Queue Report [
Q Rpt
] to force failed tracking
reports to stay in the Outbox and wait to be resent at a later time. Refer to the
section for a description of when failed tracking reports are resent.

The SHOUT ts’ default setting is to send all tracking reports, even those with invalid

The SHOUT ts’ default setting is to log and save all position reports in its circular
memory. You can turn off this feature with the
Data Log
menu. When the SHOUT ts’
memory is full, the oldest reports are overwritten. You can use SatTerm to retrieve all
position reports saved on the SHOUT ts.

The
Stats
menu has a countdown timer to the next report at the 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
are not displayed even if a message was sent successfully.

911
After pressing the red emergency button
on the back of the SHOUT ts, you 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.
