There won’t be any possibility for the thief to quit that mode
and so the receiver will stay completely unusable (even if the
SIM card is removed with intent to use a radio link instead for
example). A theft alert will be issued however only if the
communication channel (cellular modem, WiFi) has been left
operational.
Disabling Anti-Theft Before Turning Off the Receiver
If your base is set up every day at the same location and you
wish to keep the protection active day after day, the anti-theft
protection may be left enabled between work sessions. This
will not trigger any false Anti-Theft alarm.
On the contrary, if the base is moved to a different location
every day, we recommend you disable the anti-theft
protection before you turn off the receiver. If you don’t, when
starting the next operating session on a new location, an Anti-
Theft alarm will be raised mistakenly, requiring that you enter
the Anti-Theft password on the data collector to remove the
protection and stop the alarm, which may be annoying and a
waste of time.
As a safety measure, a power-off confirmation message will
show up if you attempt to turn off the receiver with the anti-
theft protection still active (see screen in the left-hand
column). Confirm power off by pressing the Log button
(otherwise, press Scroll to reject the request so you can
disable the Anti-Theft protection, using your field software,
before turning off the receiver).
Lost your Anti-Theft Password?
If you lose that password, you will be unable to remove the
Anti-Theft protection. You will need to call Technical Support,
which will provide a specific password so you can disable the
protection.
The Theft Alarm is Part of the Level-1 Alarms List
The theft alarm is managed as a level-1 alert (see Alerts on
page 59). As such, it is submitted to the same rules as the
other level-1 alerts when it comes to issuing a notification
email or SMS.
However, in both Survey Pro and FAST Survey, you are given
the ability to configure the receiver to issue notification
emails or SMS only for the theft alert.
