config

.
To enter the anchor mode, press and hold
down anchor button for about 5 seconds. You
can deactivate the mode by pressing the
anchor button again. Anchor mode can be
activated simultaneously with tracking and
alarm modes.
Alarm
Alarm mode is activated, when the alarm but-
ton is pressed and held down for 3 seconds. If
there is an external alarm button connected,
it can also be used to activate the alarm
mode. In the anchor mode, the alarm is acti-
vated automatically when TWIG Locator is
moved outside the defined area.
In the alarm mode, Locator is running at full
power and is ready to respond to your com-
mands. Pressing the alarm button activates
Locator to send an SMS message and start a
voice call to the numbers you have defined in
configuration settings. See
config 23-27: alarm
numbers on page 29
and
config 28-32: voice call
numbers on page 29
for more information.
Once the alarm button is pressed and the
voice call is established, the call has an auto-
matic duration of ten (10) minutes, after
which the call is stopped automatically. During
that time no new voice calls can be made
even if the alarm button is pressed again and/
or the established call is stopped manually
before ten minutes is over.
The alarm mode is automatically deactivated
if another mode is activated by a command.
You can also define automatic time-out for the
alarm mode in configuration settings, see
con-
fig 17: !ind messages on page 28

NMEA output
TWIG Locator can send position information
also as NMEA strings. NMEA, a GPS-based
data transferring standard, is used to transfer
data from Locator to PC.
