True, but considering that the IERS announcement comes out over 5 months
in advance and that the GPS operations fairly quickly enters it into the
system, you can with some good certainty know if you may have missed it
and is affected.
I think you should read "off for a while" as "the 10 years it sat on
a shelf as a spare part"
In that case keeping shut until having the data needed should not be so
much of a drama. If you need faster than that, then use another system
or build a routine to power it up every three months with a receiver.
Cheers,
