Settings menu allows user to view and configure the Indigo Xplorer TS hardware settings.
Audio option is used to change the alert frequency and tone, mute incoming message alert and mute all audio feedback.
The
icon will appear on top of the screen if Mute All is on. User can test the audio volume and sound before selecting by using Preview.
Backlight option is used to set the period of inactivity after which time the Indigo Xplorer TS turns the LCD backlight off. The device consumes approximately 40mA less with the LCD backlight set to Always Off. Setting the backlight to Always On is recommended for night time use.
A resistive touchscreen drifts slowly over time and needs to be recalibrated once in a while. Calibrate option allows users to either reset the calibration back to factory settings or to recalibrate specific to the condition of the touchscreen. In case the Indigo Xplorer TS is accidentally recalibrated with erroneous settings and user is unable to use the touchscreen to recalibrate or reset to factory settings, hold the power button for ~7 seconds or until the reset calibration screen comes up. DO NOT connect the Indigo Xplorer TS’s USB port to any device.
Contrast option is used to change the LCD brightness. Slide the contrast bar to the desired setting and press the OK to accept; tap the back button to go back without change.
Favorites option lets user select any icon to appear on the bottom of the home screen. This allows quick and easy access to the most frequently used options. A maximum of four active favorite icons are allowed.
Format option is used to select one of four different GPS position formats to be displayed on the LCD screen. This option is not to be confused with the Format option under Tracking, which defines the format of position report to be transmitted to a NOC.
Include GPS option forces the Indigo Xplorer TS to attach GPS location to Check-In, canned and free-text messages. Under default setting, these messages do not have GPS information included. Messages with GPS location included can take longer to complete since the device has to acquire a GPS fix first. Depending on the validity of the stored ephemeris data, it could take an additional 29 seconds.
Only English is available.
The Indigo Xplorer TS has a single status LED on the bottom left corner to alert user of whether the device is in tracking mode or emergency mode. The LED flashes once every five seconds when Track On/Off is enabled and the device sleeps in between tracking reports. The LED turns solid green when Emergency mode is enabled regardless of whether the device is on or off. The LED can be turned off for either of these two cases to save battery power using the LED option. The ts consumes approximately 3mA less with the LED disabled during emergency and 125A less with LED disabled during tracking mode.
Reset option restores all setup parameters back to the manufacturer’s settings. When Reset is selected, a screen will appear with the current settings and user will be asked to confirm whether or not to reset these current settings back to the manufacturer’s default settings.
Search option allows user to set the search parameters for the contact list and mailboxes. The contact list or address book can be set to be searched by name, email address, phone number or location. Similar options are available for the mailboxes.
Security option is used to enable or disable the power up PIN code. The PIN code is a user-selected, up to four digit number, and must be provided at power up if security is enabled.
Time and Date option is used to select UTC time and date formats to be displayed on the LCD screen for all menus. Local time zone can also be set.
