6. GNSS SIGNAL ACQUISITION TEST

IMPORTANT: To preserve battery life, a maximum of 6 GNSS Tests are permitted during each
battery's 5 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.
