  • There will be one external GPS antenna connector (MMCX)
  • C/N ratio should higher than 35 on production testing

Buttons

  • Touch screen over LCD is primary data entry mechanism

Aux (911) button on the top of the device, All two of these buttons, when pushed by the operator, are binary inputs (on/off or pressed/not pressed) to the software. The effect of each button is determined by the application software in the device
  • Buttons may need to be backlit
  • 50000 cycles on hardware specification

Sound outputs
