First off let me say "I am NOT looking for a way to beat the machine!"
I live in VERY rural West(by God!)Virginia. I have to wear one of these
things for 6 months as a result of a misd. assault conviction involving
defending myself in a bar-fight... That said, I don't need remarks
about my poor choice of places to spend my recreational time... Now to
the point of my post. The LEO that is the "administrator" of the
electronic monitoring home confinement program in my county is at best
a high school grad! His inability to explain, or even READ, the
regulations of the program has convinced me of his ignorance. I asked
him the same questions I am asking here. He was unable or unwilling to
answer them. I simply need to know the limits of my monitoring
device?(BI 9000) What do the lights on the front of the base unit
signify? I surmise the meaning of the "power" light to mean the unit's
power is on! I am guessing that the "telephone" light goes on when the
unit is being called or making a call, however I have yet to see the
"telephone" light on! Now to my most important query. The "range" light
is on at all times and is amber in color... What does this signify? Can
this unit be configured by the "administrator" for different range
settings? I live in a rural setting. I simply want to be able to
retrieve my mail and feed my dog without setting off the device. I
would like to ask the Court for a greater range of movement and at
least know what I'm talking about when I make the request... Thanks!
