| - Transmission: Up to three times at fixed hours per day (such as 13:00/14:00/18:00) | |
| - 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. | |
