This message appears only if GPS data was acquired
The system reports that the 121.5 MHz homing signal is on. Search and
Rescue (SAR) personnel use this frequency when arriving close to the scene.
If this message is accompanied by a green LED flash, the GPS coordinates
have been sent. 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.
The system reports recently acquired GPS coordinates. You may be able to
communicate the coordinates to SAR or other persons assisting in the rescue.
The green LED flash indicates that GPS coordinates have been sent.
Coordinates will scroll from right to left with the following information: LT: XXº
XX.XX’,N and LG: XXXº XX.XX’,W
The system alerts you that the GPS coordinates have not been acquired and
therefore have not been sent.
The system reminds you that GPS data acquisition is optimized by giving the
beacon a clear view of the sky.
