	49	+The GPS antenna is at the top and center of the unit, and will (usually) only receive signal with a clear sky view directly above. The signal is able to penetrate plastic and terracotta planters and a thin layer of soil, but may struggle if the soil layer is too thick. The BD3C will not start recording without first attaining a GPS lock.

	61	+
	62	+* **Charging Duration**: Both types of nodes take approximately 6-8 hours to fully charge from a flat state.
	63	+* **Pre-Deployment Charging**:
	64	+** Although the nodes hold their charge well, it's beneficial to give them a "top up" charge right before deployment.
	65	+
	66	+* **Operational Duration**:
	67	+** When recording at 250 Hz, with GPS on and Bluetooth disabled, the instruments are expected to last about 30 days per charge cycle.
	68	+
	69	+* **Post-Retrieval Charging**:
	70	+** Do not store the instruments with completely drained batteries.
	71	+** After retrieval, charge the instruments to about 50-60% (indicated as "orange" level) for optimal battery health.
	72	+
	73	+* **Storage and Shipping Charge Level**:
	74	+** Maintain a battery charge level of around 50-60% for both storage and shipping purposes.
	75	+** This charge level is recommended to prevent battery damage and is safe for transportation.

	85	+* Download the GPS file to a laptop.
	86	+* Share this file on a drive accessible to all team members for uniform understanding of node locations.
	87	+
	88	+**Photo Sharing**:
	89	+
	90	+* Upload site photos to a shared platform (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.).
	91	+* Integrating photos into Google Maps or Google Earth can be particularly beneficial for easy location referencing.
	92	+
	93	+**Metadata File**:
	94	+
	95	+* Create a metadata XML file for each node, which is essential for data organisation and future reference.
	96	+
	97	+=== **7- Additional Best Practices** ===
	98	+
	99	+* **Environmental Responsibility**: Ensure that the node placement and the materials used are environmentally responsible and adhere to local regulations.
	100	+* **Training and Familiarisation**: Make sure all team members are adequately trained in using the GPS devices, compass, and other equipment to ensure consistent and accurate data collection.
