Follow the steps below if you are unable to send messages from the GeoPro Messenger GPM1000.
Note: The GeoPro Messenger operates most effectively with full and clear visibility of the sky to acquire a GPS fix and transmit your messages over the Iridium satellite network.
Solution 1: Send a test message
- Ensure the device has full and clear visibility of the sky.
- Send a test message (Check-In, Field Status, Text Message etc) from the device.
- Press the “Menu” softkey, scroll to “Messages” and press the “Select” softkey or press the “Messaging” softkey from the Home screen.
- Confirm the test message is queued in the “Outbox”.
- The device will attempt to acquire a GPS fix followed by Iridium signal.
- Once the device has acquired Iridium signal, confirm the test message has been sent.
- The queued message should no longer appear in the “Outbox” once the transmission has been completed.
- If the queued message still appears in the “Outbox” please proceed to the next solution.
Solution 2: Re-send the queued message
- Ensure the device has full and clear visibility of the sky.
- Press the “Menu” softkey, scroll to “Messages” and press the “Select” softkey or press the “Messaging” softkey from the Home screen.
- Scroll to Outbox and press the “Select” softkey.
- Scroll to the queued message in the list and press the “Resend” softkey.
- Ensure the device acquires a GPS fix (GPS will be in capital letters to indicate a fix)
- Ensure the device acquires Iridium signal, the transceiver will appear to be on and display signal strength in bars.
- Once the device has acquired Iridium signal, confirm the test message has been sent.
- The queued message should no longer appear in the “Outbox” once the transmission has been completed.
- If the queued message still appears in the “Outbox” and resending the message does not resolve the issue please contact GeoPro Technical Support to make arrangements for an RMA.
