Data Collection & Transmission Setting: | |
Regular-Interval Mode: | |
- GPS interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
- ENV interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
- ODBA interval: 10 min/30 min | |
- ACC interval: 25 Hz, 3 seconds in every 10 min (by default) | |
- Transmission interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
Above ranges are selectable on website data platform or App. Contact us if other settings are required. | |
On-Time Mode | |

- GPS / ENV / BHV: Regular-interval model or on-time model follow each transmission | |
Sleep Mode | |
This mode is to deactivate certain type of data collection for: | |
- a certain period (from minutes to months) | |
- a regular period each day (a maximum of 16 hours) | |
Intelligent Frequency Optimization & Flight Detection (BOOST) | |
The BOOST function intelligently increases data collection & transmission frequency when the charging condition is good or the bird is flying. The default setting is as below: | |
Frequency Optimization: | Every 10 min/1 min |
Flight Detection: | Every 20 sec |
With BOOST, the device portrays detailed movement tracks without manual intervention and avoids the possibility of battery drain due to radical settings in bad weather. | |
