SUSPENDED TRACK MODE
SPOT TRACE isdesignedtoonlysendtrackmessageswhenitdetectsmovement.Whenitisstationaryfor
morethanveminutes,TracewillenterSuspendedTrackmode.Itwillautomaticallysendonemoretrack

messages.Trackingwillautomaticallyresumeafterthevibrationsensordetectsmovementagain.
