Connectors

The

radEAGLET

has several connectors.

When operating under harsh conditions, keep the connectors clean and free of dust
or sand. If you experience connection problems, clean the connector with a cleanser
specialized for electronic components.

Micro USB-B at rear end

Use this plug (Fig.

, p.

) to connect your

radEAGLET

to a computer. All common

operating systems like Microsoft Windows, MacOS or Linux are supported.

The internal battery of the

radEAGLET

is charged while connected through this plug

to, e.g., a wall power adaptor.
