PART B: CONFIGURING SETTINGS FOR THE SERAPH
SERAPH SETTINGS: GPS
SETTING GPS OPERATING MODE
The GPS receiver in the device uses power saving options for
ensuring maximum battery capacity. Click the arrow and
highlight the desired option (1). The GPS receiver has three
modes:
•
Off
•
Economy
•
Full power
(without the power saving option).
Operating mode depends on the way, the device is used. Au-
tonomous system, i.e. the portable device, normally uses
Economy
mode, while device with constant power supply,
i.e. a fixed device, uses
Full Power

SLEEPING TIME (IN ECONOMY MODE)
As a default setting, the GPS economy mode calculates posi-
tion approximately every 45 seconds. The position interval
consists of two things:
•An ideal sleeping time for the GPS plus
•An actual time needed for searching satellites and calcu-
lating position by the GPS.
The sleeping timeis adjustable (1a). In the Benewin, key in
the sleeping time in seconds. The sleeping time should be
rounded to tens, otherwise the software does the rounding.
E.g. by entering 27, the ideal sleeping time will be rounded
to 30 seconds. Note that 20 seconds is the minimum value.
NOTE: The time needed for searching and calculating satel-
lites depends on present circumstances, e.g. satellite cover-
age, age of the latest position fix, distance from the previous
to the current position and so on.
POOR SATELLITE COVERAGE
Notify service center when satellite coverage drops
vice can be configured to notify the service center if the sat-
ellites are suddenly dropped and position is lost, e.g. when
entering in a building.
Key in the number in minutes (2). The timeout indicates, for
how long the device is allowed to stay in poor satellite cov-
erage before sending a protocol message to the service cen-
ter - the smaller the number you set in here, the faster the
device will react to lost satellites and the sooner the notifi-
cation will be sent.
