LUCAS device will automatically send device data every time the LUCAS
device is connected to the External Power Supply for charging and in
range of a known network.

downloaded, starting with the most recent. If there are many
files to transmit or your network is slow you may need to initiate
multiple transmissions.

registered e-mail address.
