The SHOUT ns is the “no LCD display” version of the SHOUT ts. It is a body-worn
tracker/messaging device weighing less than 3 ounces and is 60% smaller than the SHOUT ts in
volume. Both the Iridium and GPS antennas are embedded inside the enclosure. The SHOUT ns
device’s operating parameters are set with a computer via the USB port. With an internal 650
mAh rechargeable battery, the SHOUT ns can send a position report every hour for up to 20
days (about 480 reports). The device can periodically wake up from sleep to send its position
report to a command center. A 911 activation sequence is used for immediate emergency/alert
notifications. Data is packaged in either standard or 256-bit AES encrypted format. Data can
also be sent in encrypted PECOS formats to include brevity codes.
This Quick Start Guide provides a basic overview of the SHOUT ns standard features and
functions. It is designed to familiarize you with the SHOUT ns and provide basic guidance for its
operation.
