Scheduling calls

General

You can preset three different call schedules for a Chatter™ Data Logger. The preset call schedules will be used
in the Data call list. The call schedules governs how often the Chatter™ Data Logger will send data to a recipient.
You can select intervals between 10 minutes and 24 hours.

Additional information:

Data call lists

The Chatter™ Data Logger does not recognize time zones. This results in a time shift when Daylight
Saving Time goes into or out of use!

Additional information:

Time and time zones

Call schedules and log schedule are 'linked'.
It makes no sense to schedule calls with a 10 minutes interval and - at the same time - use a log
schedule with a log interval set to 1 hour. The Chatter™ Data Logger will only send data in every
sixth call.

Call schedules with a frequent call pattern will have a huge impact on the battery life expectancy!

Battery lifetime

The time for any call is calculated from 00:00 Unicersal Time
Coordinated, midnight
