Nautilus GPS Update v3.2.5

Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS – Firmware Update v3.2.5 & Upgrades

We are excited to share some significant updates for the Nautilus LifeLine Marine Rescue GPS.
Our new Position Advisory feature is perfect for divers or other marine enthusiasts. You can now send your position to boats in the area without triggering emergency status. This is a great option for communication on the water. To activate the position advisory sequence, follow these steps:

  1. Press and hold the yellow Nautilus GPS Test Button for 8s. After 3s of holding the Test Button, YELLOW indicator will begin flashing for the next 5s. After 8s, YELLOW indicator will briefly become solid again and then resume flashing. The Test Button can now be released.
  2. YELLOW indicator flashes quickly when GPS location determined.
  3. Nautilus GPS will now continuously transmit a Non-Emergency Position Report. This message will be received by all surrounding ships with AIS receivers. In addition, if you have programmed a ship MMSI (see page 7), the message will be received on the ship’s VHF radio.
  4. Hold Test Button for 5s to deactivate Non-Emergency Position Report sequence. YELLOW indicator will turn solid and BLUE indicator will begin flashing. This sequence will not send an emergency distress message.

Please refer to our updated operations manual for full instructions on these procedures. https://lifeline1.wpenginepowered.com/manual-support/
