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.

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.

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.

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.

73		-* **Storage and Shipping Charge Level**:
74		-** Maintain a battery charge level of around 50-60% for both storage and shipping purposes.
