Figure 18: Mailbox Check Rate
When mailbox check is enabled, the symbol
lights up from dimmed gray to bright white at
the top of the screen. The 3G checks the Iridium gateway automatically for any pending
messages at the next scheduled time. When mailbox check is enabled and the 3G sleeps in
between checks, the status LED flashes once every five seconds. The status LED can be turned
off during sleep to reduce power consumption by using the

GPS
The Include GPS [
Inc GPS
] option forces the SHOUT 3G to attach GPS location to Check-In
and canned and free-text messages. Under the default setting, these messages do not
have GPS information included. Messages with GPS location attached can take longer to
complete because the 3G has to acquire a GPS fix first. Depending on the validity of the stored
satellite ephemeris data, it could take up to an additional 29 seconds.
