To get the best performance from your Personal Tracker, it is helpful to
understand how and when the Personal Tracker communicates with ViewPoint
or other contacts. The Reporting Interval, GPS Check and Mailbox Check can
be configured in the GMPT-401 App and in ViewPoint. They can be configured
separately for Normal Mode or Alert Mode. Any setting change in the GMPT-
401 App will synchronize with the settings in ViewPoint and vice versa.
Note: The frequency of Reporting Intervals, GPS Checks, Mailbox Checks, and
SOS Messages will affect the tracker's battery life.
At the start of each scheduled reporting interval, the tracker wakes up and
begins acquiring a GPS fix. Once a GPS fix has been obtained a tracking
message is generated and transmission is attempted over Iridium. If no
coverage is available, the message is stored in the tracker until the next
successful transmission (up to 10 messages can be stored and sent later). This
helps to maintain an unbroken bread-crumb trail on the mapping system. Once
the transmission is successful, a mailbox check is made allowing the Tracker to
receive any waiting messages. Once completed, the Personal Tracker goes
back to sleep until the next scheduled reporting interval.
