WARNING: Use of the display unit while the vehicle is in motion is dangerous. Do not
use the display unit while the vehicle is in motion. If, and only if, the vehicle is being
driven by a team, the non-driver may operate the unit while the vehicle is moving
provided the non-driver ensures the driver isn’t distracted.
u Message Notification
When your unit receives a message, it is automatically stored in the system memory.
You don’t need to do anything to receive messages. Your unit automatically receives
messages when the ignition is on and for a short time right after the ignition is turned
off. In addition, the unit is equipped with a wake-up timer that allows it to check for
messages periodically even while the ignition is off. The time between each wake-up
is set by your company and is typically 1 - 2 hours. With this feature, you don’t need to
start or idle your vehicle to see if you have any new messages.
TIP: The unit will automatically receive messages unless the No Signal light is on. The
No Signal light indicates that the unit is searching for the satellite. For more information,
about the No Signal light, see page 2-6. If a message is sent to you while the No Signal
light is on, the message will automatically be re-sent until it is received by your unit or
the maximum transmission limit is reached. If the message reaches the transmission
limit, your dispatcher will receive an error message indicating that the message was
not received by your unit.
