Explanation of the above example main screen display:
- the built-in lithium-ion battery is fully charged. The
battery
symbol
is completely white filled and is permanently
embedded.
-
"TX"
– unit is transmitting. The
TX
indicator remains active
for a short time, even if the transmission has already been completed. Since transmissions can
sometimes only have a very short duration, this helps for better detection of transmissions.
When receiving data, an
"RX"
appears at this point.
If neither transmitting nor receiving a data packet, nothing appears here.
- Currently
7
satellites are used for the position determination.
- The battery voltage is approx.
4.1V
(the voltage measurement is not calibrated!)
- Time
19:48:34
(hours: minutes: seconds)
- The speed is
1km / h
