Transmitter

• The beacon transmitter will operate when the LED is orange, however the

transmitted power is reduced which reduces the operating range.

Power

The unit should be powered from a 12V rechargeable battery. A small car
battery is recommended as it is easily charged and will operate the
transmitter continuously for up to 20 days. The battery may also be used as a
weight at the base of the mounting system for stability.

Connect the Red Wire to Battery Positive, and the Black wire to Battery
Negative.

Note that the unit requires at least 10 V for proper operation.

It is recommended that the battery be charged regularly to ensure good
battery life.
