Status LEDs blink in clockwise sequence for 3 seconds. Let the SHOUT ns charge for several

hours or until the BATT LED changes to steady illumination.

4.4 Device GPS reception and Iridium Registration

After charging the SHOUT ns, the device is ready to use. Hold the Power Button for 2

seconds. The Power LED and Battery LED will light up and the device will begin functioning.

Ensure the top of the SHOUT ns has a clear view of the sky. The standard LED sequence

during a successful report is as follows:

a) The GPS LED lights first when a signal has been acquired.

b) The Iridium (IRDM) LED will begin lighting when an Iridium signal has been

acquired, either solid or blinking based on signal strength.

c) The Status (STAT) LED will begin lighting when a report has been transmitted.

Once this has been accomplished, all LEDs will turn off and the power LED will blink

intermittently, indicating the device is in sleep mode awaiting the next report transmission.

The SHOUT ns is shipped with default settings below:

Report Rate ................................................5 Minutes

Emergency Report Rate ...............................5 Minutes

If these default settings are not what the user desires, the SHOUT ns supports a micro

USB connection to a computer with SatTerm software (or any terminal emulator software) to

configure its operating profile using NAL Research's defined AT commands. These AT

commands can be found in the manual "AT Commands for Model SHOUT ns" [1].

1. A desktop or laptop computer (not provided).
