47		-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		-* **Pre-Deployment Charging**:
62		-** Although the nodes hold their charge well, it's beneficial to give them a "top up" charge right before deployment.
