INTRODUCTION
Model 8800-2-4B (Ethernet compatibility) is an add-on module for the gateway
to allow the end user to easily add remote communications and data download
functionality.
Each module comprises a weather proof enclosure 305 x 254 x 152 mm (12" x
10" × 6") in size, a 7 amp hour rechargeable battery, a charger, and the
necessary cables to interface with a GeoNet gateway.
When an add-on module is paired with a gateway, the gateway is powered by
the rechargeable battery inside the module. The charge level of the battery can
be monitored using the Agent software.

Install D cell batteries in the gateway and set the battery switch to the
appropriate setting to ensure communication between the gateway and the
loggers will not be interrupted if the battery level drops. See Section 3.2.1.
