Operating Modes

Active

While both the RockAIR and its Bluetooth connection are active, the Power and Bluetooth LED's will be on. When turned on, the device will send position reports and messages as per its current settings.

The RockAIR can send tracking information at different rates, depending on its connection status. These settings are controlled using Profiles. Each profile allows you to set a tracking rate, and also a ‘burst mode’ tracking rate.

From the RockCONNECT app, go to Configure \ Tracking and select from the available profiles to change their parameters.
