Last Report
The last successful report sent by tracking or emergency notification is displayed
in the text box below the main icons. Check-In, Way Point, free-text and canned
messages are not considered as ―reports‖ and, therefore, will not be displayed on
the home screen even if a message was sent successfully. With limited space on
the LCD screen, only date, time, latitude, longitude and altitude are visible in
dimmed gray text. Additional information can be seen by pressing the arrow down
button. After the arrow button is pressed the text will change from gray to bright
white for better readability. Displayed text can be changed back to gray by
repeatedly pressing the left arrow
saved on the nano's non-volatile memory. Even if battery power is removed, the
information can still be restored. All displayed GPS parameters are self-
explanatory except Vvel, which stands for vertical velocity.

Check-In
Check-In soft key allows user to send a quick message with a single, easy-
(Soft Key)
accessed button. When the Check-In button is pressed from the home screen, a
second screen will appear requesting for confirmation. Once confirmed, the
SHOUT nano sends out a short code representing a Check-In message. If
Settings/Include GPS option is enabled, GPS location will be attached to the
Check-In message. Check-In messages with GPS location takes longer to
complete since the nano has to acquire a GPS fix first. Depending on the validity
of the stored ephemeris data or the Accuracy setting, it could take an additional
29 seconds. Check-In message uses the same canned message's short code
format.
Way Point
A waypoint is a GPS location that user wants to identify and mark with a specific
(Soft Key)
name tag for future reference. When the Way Point soft key is pressed from the
home screen, the SHOUT nano immediately turns the GPS receiver on to acquire
