and Description of Operation
The beacon has been activated and the ACR Electronics Welcome Page
appears
The system reports that the beacon is on and in activation mode
The system reports that the beacon has turned on the GPS engine
The system reminds you that for optimum GPS performance, i.e., greatest
likelihood of acquiring coordinates, position the beacon so that it has a clear
view of the sky.
The system reminds you that for optimum transmission of the emergency
message, allow the beacon to float and do not hold the antenna (aerial).
The system reports that the 406 MHz emergency message has been sent. If
this message accompanied by a green LED flash, the GPS coordinates have
been sent as well. If accompanied by a red LED flash, the GPS coordinates
have not been sent.
NOTE: If GPS coordinates were not sent, the system will continue to attempt
to acquire the data and add it to the 406 MHz distress signal when available.
Updated GPS coordinates are sent every twenty minutes.
