GPS SATELLITE ACQUISITION TEST (MT600G ONLY)
The general self-test procedure is more than sufficient to perform a comprehensive
check of your beacon without consuming too much battery capacity. The general self-
test also includes a general GPS check to ensure the GPS circuitry is functioning.
However, on occasions, and no more regularly than once per year, you may wish
to also perform a full GPS satellite acquisition check which includes the operation of
the special GPS antenna. This test consumes much more power than a standard self-
test, so before you begin, choose an outside test location with good visibility of the
open sky above. A fast satellite acquisition means a shorter test and less wasted
power consumption.
