What Will Happen When a Theft is Detected?
The protected receiver will switch to “theft mode”, that is:
• The buzzer will regularly emit a sound alarm in quick
succession, and for an indefinite period of time.
• All output messages will be stopped (the protected base
receiver will no longer generate and transmit corrections,
or any other NMEA or raw data messages).
• The power button of the protected receiver will be made
inactive, which means no one can:
– Reset the receiver
– Upgrade the receiver.
What if the Thief Removes the Battery?
If the thief removes the battery before vanishing into thin air
with your receiver, be sure the theft will be detected sooner
or later. Next time the receiver is powered back on, because
the protection is still active, the theft alarm will be set as soon
as a valid position is computed and found distant by more
than 100 meters from the memorized
anti-theft position
, or
no valid position is delivered for 20 seconds or so.
There won’t be any possibility for the thief to quit that mode
and so the receiver will stay completely unusable.
Disabling Anti-Theft Before Turning Off the Receiver
If your base is set up every day at the same location and you
wish to keep the protection active day after day, the anti-theft
protection may be left enabled between work sessions. This
will not trigger any false Anti-Theft alarm.
On the contrary, if the base is moved to a different location
every day, we recommend you disable the anti-theft
protection before you turn off the receiver. If you don’t, when
starting the next operating session on a new location, an Anti-
Theft alarm will be raised mistakenly, requiring that you enter
the Anti-Theft password on the data collector to remove the
protection and stop the alarm, which may be annoying and a
waste of time.
Lost your Anti-Theft Password?
If you lose that password, you will be unable to remove the
Anti-Theft protection. You will need to call Technical Support,
which will provide a specific password so you can disable the
protection.
