Page 2: Specifications
The RB02 has several advantages over other acoustic rocket finders. As shown in the block diagram of Figure 1, the RB02 has a DC-to-DC converter that boosts the nominal 3.7 volts from a typical single cell lithium battery to 12 volts. This means that the beeper will always operate at its optimum voltage and produce a loud tone. -
Page 3: Battery Requirements
Figure 1 Battery requirements Batteries used with the RB01 are NOT compatible with the RB02. The polarity of the battery connector was changed to match batteries sold by Apogee Components. Spare batteries and chargers are available from Apogee Components and Lucid Technologies. A 100 to 150 mAh battery will power the RB02 for several hours. - Page 4 7. The RB02 will beep as long as the battery voltage remains > 3.4 volts. If it takes a long time to recover the rocket and the battery voltage drops to less than 3.4 volts, the RB02 will shift to low power mode.

Page 5: Problems And Suggestions
Lucid Technologies warranties the RB02 for defects in parts and labor for 30 days after purchase or until the first use of the RB02 in a model rocket, whichever occurs first. You must test your RB02 before field use. A model rocket launch is an inherently violent event for the contents of the rocket - which are subject to high acceleration, excessive temperatures, impacts at ejection and the not infrequent crash. - Page 6 RB02, Rocket Beeper Figure 4.

- Page 7 Lucid Technologies adds a connector cable compatible with batteries for the RB02, and changes the max charge current to approximately 130 milliamps. The charger uses a 5 volt input from a micro-USB connector. The Full LED may be either green or blue.
