Panther User’s Manual A-1 2012 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED Copyright ©2012 by Blackbird Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Panther TM v1.0 User’s Manual Submitted by: Blackbird Technologies, Inc. 13900 Lincoln Park Drive Suite 400 Herndon, VA 20171 2012 The product described herein uses satellite and terrestrial technologies that are inherently subject to transmission and reception limitations and will operate intermittently under certain environmental conditions. Extreme weather or objects that prevent an unobstructed view of the sky may restrict reception or transmission of messages, as well as acquisition of GPS coordinates. Accordingly, Blackbird Technologies, Inc. cannot guarantee that this product will operate without interruption under these conditions. Copyright ©2012 by Blackbird Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. 1 Introduction The Panther™ is a global positioning system (GPS) tracker with satellite communications and GSM transmitters designed for worldwide blue force tracking. The Panther includes a high- sensitivity GPS receiver to determine location. It also includes Globalstar satellite and GSM communications hardware that transmits data such as timestamp, longitude, latitude, and altitude to Blackbird’s Gotham™, a centralized monitoring web application. The Panther device integrates with Blackbird Technologies’ Gotham system. The Gotham system is a comprehensive back-end solution for monitoring, operating, and managing tagging, tracking, and locating (TTL) devices and viewing associated geospatial data. For information about Blackbird’s other TTL products and services, and for technical support, contact the Blackbird Help Desk through the following email address: [email protected] Copyright ©2012 by Blackbird Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help This device has been shown to be compliant for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1999 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in IEEE 1528-2003, OET Bulletin 65 Supp. C and Safety Code 6. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Blackbird could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Copyright ©2012 by Blackbird Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Figure 1. Panther 1 Panther Hardware Device The Panther, depicted in Figure 1, is a self-contained personnel locator device powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery pack. The device gives the user a simple three-button interface and is designed to be user-configurable and field-upgradable through a USB connection. 1.1 Operational Description The Panther firmware employs three reporting modes: Beaconing, Status Check-in, and Emergency. When the Panther is operating in Beaconing mode, it will automatically transmit its location at a user-defined interval. The Status Check-in operation is initiated when the user presses the OK button. This will cause the Panther to send an “OK” message along with its current location. During any mode, the Emergency Sequence can be initiated by simultaneously pressing and holding the Emergency Mode button and the OK button for 4+ seconds. 1.2 Power Functionality To power on the Panther, press and hold the Power button until the device vibrates once. Copyright ©2012 by Blackbird Technologies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. To power off the Panther, press and hold the Power button until the device vibrates twice. 1.3 LED Functionality The Panther contains two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are used to indicate battery level and network status. (See Figure 2 for LED location.) Figure 3 and Figure 4 identify the Battery- Level LEDs. Figure 5 identifies the Network Status LED displays. LED Color Meaning Green (single blink) Good battery level (> 7.4 v) Amber (single blink) Low battery level (between 7.0v and 7.4 v) Red (single blink) Critical battery level (< 7.0 v) Red (rapid flash with Network Status LED alternately flashing) Hardware failure Figure 2. Battery-Level LEDs During Device Operation (not in Dock) LED Color Meaning Green (solid) Battery is fully charged Amber (solid) Battery is recharging Red (solid) A battery charging fault has occurred Red/green (alternating flash) A temperature-related battery charging fault has occurred …
