The system reports that the beacon is on and in activation mode
The system reports that the beacon has turned on the GPS engine
The system reminds you that for optimum GPS performance, i.e., greatest likelihood of
acquiring coordinates, position the beacon so that it has a clear view of the sky.
The system reminds you that for optimum transmission of the emergency message, allow
the beacon to float and do not hold the antenna (aerial).
The system reports that the 406 MHz emergency message has been sent. If this message
accompanied by a green LED flash, the GPS coordinates have been sent as well. If
accompanied by a red LED flash, the GPS coordinates have not been sent.
NOTE:
If GPS coordinates were not sent, the system will continue to attempt to acquire the
data and add it to the 406 MHz distress signal when available. Updated GPS coordinates
are sent every twenty minutes.
This message appears only if GPS data was acquired
