Settings Menu
Screen idle
After a set number of seconds the screen will timeout to save battery.
This option allows you to set the number of seconds before this
happens.
Screen lock
In this menu you can turn on/off the screen lock and set a PIN code to
access the device. When this option is turned on, you must enter a PIN
code to be able to access the menu system.
A PIN code is entered by working clockwise around the keypad from
LEFT, so LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN. You press each key the right number
of times for the PIN code, so for example, with the PIN 1234 you would
PRESS LEFT once, UP twice, RIGHT three times and DOWN four times.
The unit would then let you into the system.
GPS Wakeup time (Early Wakeup)
By default the unit will wake up 20 seconds before the automatic
position reporting time, in order to obtain a GPS fix before
transmission. In challenging conditions, or where visibility of the sky is
limited, it may be required to increase this wakeup time to allow the
GPS more time to get a fix. Options range from 20 seconds to 3 minutes.
By increasing this time, battery life will be decreased.
Screen brightness
By default the screen is set to 50% brightness. This option allows you to
change the screen brightness for better viewing in bright sunlight.
Increasing the brightness will decrease battery life.
Stealth mode
Turning on stealth mode will stop the screen from turning on when a
button is pressed, and will also stop the LED from flashing when the
unit is trying to transmit or receive. It is still possible to access the
menu when in Stealth mode, but a PIN code must be entered to get into
the unit (see earlier section on Screen Lock)
User Mode (not fully implemented)
This setting will remove some of the more complex menus and options
from the system, to allow for ease of operation for different types of
user. Options are ‘Standard, Advanced’.
Language
This setting will change the language of the device from the default
English to other languages.
Send Config Report
This menu option will prompt the Yellowbrick V3 to send a
configuration report detailing its current setup to the back-‐office
system.
