Begin charging BluTag at least

4 hours prior to the install.

If GPS is not available, acquire GPS elsewhere for at least 45 minutes.

•

Though GPS might be present within the first few minutes of exposure - for optimal
performance, allow BluTag time to update its almanac prior to use.

Important:

•

Do not leave BluTags charging for more than two weeks.

•

Avoid charging in the heat of direct sunlight.
