Whether it is recording or idle, the instrument can activate its WiFi™ interface and try to connect to a server at regular intervals. The connection schedule is defined in that field. In order to enable that behavior, the following must be setup:

 

• The connect interval must be set: The interval is often chosen as once per day (24H), or twice per day (12H). Setting a very small interval will let the instrument report much more often, but that will drain the battery faster. Setting a much longer interval (several days, a week or more) will risk losing data if the connection cannot be established at its scheduled time. The interval must not be set as 0.

• The WiFi-Report-Active button must be pressed: When the button is released the instrument will not try to connect at the set interval.

• A start date and time must be set sometime in the future: The periodic connection attempts will only begin at the set date and time.
