THE SOLAR TRANSMITTERS
The solar transmitters make use of solar energy to power the
instruments they are connected to. Two pieces of UM3 or "AA" -
sized batteries are needed as back-up power.
Note: It is recommended to insert two UM3 or "AA"-sized super
lithium batteries for weather condition under 0 °C.
For the solar transmitters to function properly, make sure the solar
receptors on the transmitters are exposed to sunlight and the
connectors of the connection cable are securely plugged in.
