The SHOUT ns can communicate with an Android smartphone running the SHOUT Android app,
available from NAL Research via the Google Play App Store, using the SHOUT ns Bluetooth
interface. This Android application provides all the capabilities of the display screens on other
NAL Research tracking devices such as the SHOUT nano and SHOUT ts. These capabilities
include device status; text messaging; managing tracking parameters such as reporting rate,
reporting format, and geofencing; diagnostic utilities; and configuring the SHOUT ns. This
section provides a brief overview of the SHOUT app. More details regarding the SHOUT app can
be found in the SHOUT App User Guide [4] document.

emulation application (see section 5.2 Using SatTerm). Section 3.6 Pair Device Bluetooth with
the SHOUT App has detailed steps to pair the SHOUT ns with an Android device.
