Basic+ Configuration

If the transceiver has been configured in the Basic+ configuration, an ERS1 device will be
provided as part of the product.

In this configuration, the ERS1 can be used to change the state of the transceiver from Port
to Transit to Fishing, rather than using the buttons on the top of the transceiver. Figure 3
shows how these state changes are displayed on the ERS1.
