The Call Outs screen allows for sending a scheduled daily tracking report at a
defined UTC time. Scheduled times are entered via a Configuration File and are
listed on the Call Outs screen. The Call Out function is useful for users who need
the device to transmit at a specific time and/or want to generate a periodic heart
beat message.

Figure 35: Brevity Code
The Brevity code is part of the PECOS format. The device will ignore the Brevity
code settings if PECOS format is not enabled and not selected. With PECOS enabled,
the user has the option to select any one of sixteen Brevity Codes (0000 through
1111) to be included in the PMS tracking reports. These codes are represented by
A, B, C and D and can be selected via checkboxes to select a specific Brevity Code.
Please see the Brevity section of the Settings Menu on page 43 of this manual or
more information.
The Statistics screen provides details regarding overall tracking performance since
the last report was sent and the CLEAR STATS button was pressed, as seen in Figure
36. The Stats screen has a countdown TIME TO NEXT report timer at the top that
displays Off when tracking is disabled. The middle of the Statistics screen displays
the last successful report sent by tracking.
Note: Check-In, Way Point, free-text and canned messages are not considered as
reports and, therefore, will not be displayed even if a message was sent
successfully. The bottom section of the Statistics screen displays tracking stats
since the last time the CLEAR STATS button was pressed.
