VEMCO – VR100 Receiver Operating Manual – Page 13
NOTE: If the animal is operating in deeper water, then adjust the angle of the directional hydrophone so
it’s pointing downward as you get closer to the tag. If you don’t adjust the angle, you might miss
the animal because the hydrophone is looking at the surface of the water instead into its depth.
