7. Operation
Once the PL is turned on by pressing the power button, the internal GPS will begin
to try to lock onto the GPS satellites.
The Status LEDs on the front of the RV-M7 will begin to blink orange.
After 10 to 60 seconds, depending upon the satellite strength, orange blinking will
stop. This indicates the internal GPS receiver is locked onto GPS satellite signals,
and has a position fix.
The ATLAS PL will only transmit if it has GPS lock. If the GPS antenna is broke or
obscured, the unit will not report position or status.
When it is locked to GPS, it will transmit its position and status at the interval
programmed into the TXRATE parameter.
