1. A method for conserving battery power during shipping for an impact activated device for transmitting a radiofrequency signal, the method comprising:
- forming an impact activated device comprisinga battery having no more than 225 milli-amp hours of power,a microprocessor in electrical communication with the battery, the microprocessor operating during a sleep mode, a sampling mode, an analysis mode, a monitoring mode and a transmission mode,a motion activation component, anda radiofrequency component in electrical communication with the microprocessor, the radiofrequency component only operable during a transmission mode,wherein the shot tracking device only operates in the sleep mode and the sampling mode until the shot tracking device is paired with a receiver;
shipping the shot tracking device in commerce;
receiving the shot tracking device at a retailer; and
storing the shot tracking device at the retailer, wherein the battery has at least 90% of its capacity until paired with a receiver.
