Page 44: Anti-Theft Protection
The SP80 integrates an anti-theft function to protect your equipment while it is left operating unattended. This protection is intended for a SP80 operated as a base. The anti-theft protection will discourage the theft of an SP80 receiver by rendering it useless without the anti-theft password. -
Page 45: What Events Will Trigger A Theft Alarm
What Events Will Trigger a Theft Alarm? From the moment the anti-theft protection is enabled (and an anti-theft position has been saved in the receiver), a theft condition will be detected, and an alert will be issued: • If the receiver has unexpectedly been unable to deliver a valid position for the last 20 seconds or so. -
Page 46: Disabling Anti-Theft Before Turning Off The Receiver
There won’t be any possibility for the thief to quit that mode and so the receiver will stay completely unusable (even if the SIM card is removed with intent to use a radio link instead for example). A theft alert will be issued however only if the communication channel (cellular modem, WiFi) has been left operational. -
