Beacon
The configuration of the VHF Beacon schedule is similar to the configuration of the GPS
schedule (see
Schedules ) but without setting the Fix Rate. You can only set the Start
Date and End Date, Period Length, Offset and Duration. The VHF beacon is active in
the time span between Offset and Duration.
For example: If you choose 6 hours for the Offset and a Duration of 4 hours with a Period
Length of 1 day, the VHF beacon will be active every day from 6.00 am to 10.00 am. In
difference to the GPS schedule, you can define max. 372 VHF beacon schedule rules.

To save battery life, it might be useful to switch off the beacon during times when you will
not track your animal (e.g. during the night).
After setting up the VHF Beacon schedule, you can choose if you like to send the new
schedule only to the selected collar or to all collars found in the Device Search by setting
up the Destination on the left side of the frame. To send the VHF beacon schedule to the
collar / to the collars, press
