Messages from the Kilo

Messages received from Kilo such as GPS messages or responses to Status requests arrive as
email attachments to all the email accounts that the Kilo was setup with, and also appear on
XeosOnline. When the unit is first turned on, it will send out three messages (pictured below)
and will enter startup mode.

Version

The first message sent from the Kilo indicates the Firmware Version and serial number.
Powerup: true, Version: Kilo v1.01-681(6067)~ , Serial: 1240

Status

Another message that the Kilo will send will be a Status message. It will display the currently used
times and will display differently, depending on whether or not Watch Circle is enabled.
This message also appears when the device moves from regular intervals to alarm intervals, or
back. It also is used as a response to a change to these intervals, or changes to the watch circle.
