EXTENDED GPS TEST
To do the extended GPS test, the beacom must be outside with a clear
view to the sky. The test is initiated by pressing the self – test button for 6
seconds. There will be an initial brief green LED flash, followed shortly by
three (3) short Green LED flashes and three (3) beeps to indicate that the
extended GPS test has started; the self – test button should then be
released. During the extended GPS test, the red LED will blink to indicate
that the beacon is searching for a good GPS fix. Upon completion of the
test, a long Green LED and beep will indicate that the extended GPS test
was successful. If the beacon is unsuccessful after two (2) minutes in
acquiring a good GPS fix, there will be a long red LED flas and four (4)
beeps.
The beacon may be tested for GPS functionality once every six weeks, up to
a máximum of 84 times during the life of the battery. When trying to initiate
a GPS test after the maximum number of GPS tests has been reached, there
will be a brief green LED flash followed shortly by three brief red LED flashes
and three beeps indicating that is no longer possible to run the GPS test.
