Battery Backup

If installed in a vehicle so as to avoid loss of lock when tracking L-Band, it is recommended a back-up
battery be placed between the receiver and its voltage supply as a power buffer. When a vehicle engine
is started, power can dip to 9.6 V DC or cut-out to ancillary equipment causing the receiver to lose lock
and calibration settings.
