GeoPro Messenger Quick Start Guide v0.1
GeoPro Messenger Quick Start Guide
This reference guide is designed to provide you with clear instructions on how to get started using the GeoPro Messenger in the field.
For additional information, refer to the GeoPro Messenger User Guide.
Home Screen
Satellite Reception
The Home screen is your entry point to the GeoPro
Messenger. It consists of communication and power
management icons (see table below) at the top, time
and date, and menus for access to the device functions
at the bottom.
The GeoPro Messenger operates most effectively with a full and clear visibility of
the sky (as shown) to acquire a GPS fix and transmit your messages over the
Iridium satellite network. This process should take less than 1 minute, but may
take several minutes if the line of sight is obstructed or the device has moved
more than 500 miles since its last GPS fix.

Description
Iridium transceiver is OFF. This is the default device state
for power management.
Iridium transceiver is ON with real‐time signal strength
represented by the number of vertical bars. This is the
device state while actively sending and receiving messages.
This process is managed automatically by the device and
requires no user intervention.
GPS receiver is OFF. This is the default device state for
power management.
GPS receiver is ON with real‐time satellite acquisition
status represented by the number of vertical bars:
1 Bar = Time & Date
2 Bars = 2D Fix
3 Bars = 3D Fix; HDOP more than 2.0
4 Bars = 3D Fix; HDOP less than 2.0
The receiver is only turned on when a new position is

the Iridium network. To maximize power management, the
receiver is turned on for the minimum time required to get
a valid fix (3D). This process is managed automatically by
the device and requires no user intervention.
