11.Extended GPS test

The beacon may be tested for GPS functionality, however, this may only be done once in the five-year lifetime of the battery due to the significant drain on the battery. This test is not necessary at any time in the life of the beacon, but is made available in the event that the beacon owner wishes to verify internal GPS engine viability.

An extended GPS test may be invoked by holding the switch in test position for 10 seconds after Self-Test completes. A long beep indicates the start of the extended GPS test and the internal GPS begins to acquire coordinates data. Once the data is acquired, another long beep and a green LED can be observed.
