IDLE RUN
In IDLE mode, the two LEDs alternate
ashing green and the visibility light will
be OFF.
In RUN mode, the two LEDs are solid
green and the amber visibility light
ashes periodically.
IDLE mode saves power and suspends
data acquisition and transmission.
That way you can switch to RUN mode
without having to open the lid.
Use IDLE mode for short-term inactivity,
in preparation for deployment (e.g.
transport to deployment site).
RUN mode is for full system
functionality including: data acquisition,
processing, data transmission and on
board logging to SD card.
Use RUN mode during deployment.
Note: Spotter DOES NOT collect data when in IDLE mode.
Important
• Spotter needs to be switched into RUN mode for deployment.
• If Spotter is in IDLE mode, you can switch to RUN mode by holding a
magnet onto the recessed area directly on top of the electronics box
until the lights turn off. Or, if the transparent lid is screwed on, hold the
magnet onto the recessed round area in the lid for 3 seconds.
• The ashing pattern of the 2 user LEDs and the visibility light will reveal
which mode Spotter is in. (See next page.)
• In IDLE mode, the SYSTEM and GO LEDs will shut off after 3 minutes to
save power.
When switched to RUN mode, the two user LEDs (SYSTEM and GO)
communicate system status and signal when the Spotter is ready to deploy.
SYSTEM LED
Communicates the status of system hardware.
GO LED
Communicates the operating state of device.
This includes GPS connectivity, solar and battery charge.
