GNSS SIGNAL ACQUISITION TEST

IMPORTANT: To preserve battery life, a maximum of 10 GNSS Tests are permitted during each
battery's 6 year storage life, after which further GNSS Tests are prohibited until the battery is
replaced.
Begin this test indoors, out of view of the open sky.
•
To start the GNSS Signal Acquisition Test, press and hold the TEST button again for 15 seconds
•
until the indicator light will start flashing slowly, indicating that the GNSS is searching for a signal.
Then, release the TEST button.
Move outside so that the PLB now has a clear view of the sky.
•
Ensure "GPS Zone" on unit is not obstructed.
•
Unit will flash slowly until GNSS fix is acquired. When no GNSS Test remains, the unit will only
•
flash once a single long flash and the PLB will switch off without performing the GNSS Test.
A series of long flashes indicates a successful GNSS fix and the number of GNSS tests remaining.
•
If no GNSS fix is acquired after 5 minutes, the test will fail and the indicator light will stop flashing.
