11. Extended GPS test
The beacon may be tested for GPS functionality, however, this may only be
done once in the five-year lifetime of the battery due to the significant drain
on the battery. This test is not necessary at any time in the life of the beacon,
but is made available in the event that the beacon owner wishes to verify
internal GPS engine viability.
An extended GPS test may be invoked by holding the switch in test position
for 10 seconds after Self-Test completes. The display will show the message
LONG GPS DATA TEST START while the internal GPS is acquiring
coordinates data. Once the data is acquired, the display will post the
message GPS TEST √ followed by the LAT/LON coordinates as a
confirmation that the data was successfully acquired.
See Appendix E for digital display information.
