The OK/Check button also functions as a self-test button with the added advantage that it tests the system end-to-end since it actually transmits a location so that you can check to confirm it works.


End-to-end ....
does this means :
- a location is transmited and a signal is sent back to the unit to acknoledge the location translmission
or
- a location is transmited and you have to access some web site to check if the signal correctly arrived at the other end
??????
The first explanation would mean two-way communication, but you say there is none ;
The second explanation would mean you have no way to test in the field, only at home/office ;
So, what is the third, correct, explanation I have been to dumb to understand ?? blush

confused Or does "end-to-end" applies to the unit only (from pushbutton to antenna), not the entire system, satellite and Geos response center included ????


TIA
