12.4.5 Energy Savings Mode (GPSSAVE)
If the device is connected to an external voltage source, the current location is checked every
second.
To save power in battery operation, the GPS receiver will switch off automatically and only be
activated 1x per hour. If the product changes position (change of the GSM radio cell BTS) or
the device receives a command „TEST GPS“, the current GPS location is updated at once.
The user is able to change the interval between the automatic updates in energy savings
mode:
SET GPSSAVE <Time> #1513
The parameter „Time“ represents the time in minutes (1.....250). The setting „0“ means that the
GPS receiver is not switched off.

The battery runtime is strongly influenced by these settings. For example, if GPS
receiver deactivation is switched off (GPSSAVE = 0), the battery runtime will be
reduced to just a few hours.
