6 DSAT-300 MODES
6.1 NORMAL MODE (A/C MAINS OR BATTERY)
The DSAT-300 ‘Normal Mode’ is for position reporting and/or messaging via BlackBerry/iPhone/Android and
additional Bluetooth / Wi-Fi adapter. The unit will be operating on battery power alone or can have wired power
connected to recharge the batteries whilst in operation.
If running on battery power alone (without a Bluetooth adapter connected), then the unit will transparently transition
in and out of sleep mode between position reports and the battery charging circuits are turned off to extend battery
life.
6.2 RECHARGE MODE (WALL CHARGER)
Using the recharge adapter the DSAT-300 will auto-detect when the wall charger is connected and operate in
‘Recharge Mode’. In this mode the power LED flashes at a rate of two times per second. The DSAT will only charge
the batteries and display the battery charge levels. No position reporting or BlackBerry communications can be
performed in recharge mode.
6.3 EMERGENCY MODE
The ‘Emergency Mode’ can be activated / deactivated by either of the following methods:
two short presses of the push button
external emergency switch
via mobile device running RDA or STS Messenger software
In Emergency mode the unit can transmit positions at an increased rate. If a unit is being viewed in the ground
software (SkyWeb) in this mode then the positions reports will show in red and an audible alarm can be heard (if
the user has configured it).
NOTE: The unit cannot be shut down in this mode. If external (A/C) mains power is lost whilst the unit is in
‘Emergency Mode’ the DSAT-300 will continue to operate on battery power until the batteries are expired or the
emergency mode is cancelled by the user and the unit is turned off normally.
