Sensor Modes
8.1
Fast Transmit Mode
When the sensor is placed in Fast Transmit Mode, it will transmit more frequently for 15 minutes. After
15 minutes the sensor will go back to its normal logging mode. To place the sensor in Fast Transmit
Mode, press the push button twice within one second. The sensor will turn on the LED for 10 seconds.
After the 15 minutes expires, the sensor will transmit at its normal configured cadence. If the push
button is pressed twice within one second while in fast transmit mode, the sensor will continue with fast
transmit mode for another 15 minutes. For more information about location of the push button and
LED, see section 6.1 User Interface.
