battery when the receiver is not being used for an extended period of time. The battery must be connected
before the VR2Tx can be initialized.
6.4.1 Battery Life
A new Lithium D-cell battery will last approximately 14 months in a
VR2Tx-69kHz receiver.
Larger amounts of battery life are consumed while the VR2Tx is ready
for Bluetooth communication or is communicating with the PC than
during the receiver’s Record mode. For this reason, the VR2Tx exits
Bluetooth mode as soon as the Receiver tab in the VUE software is closed (section 3.10). If the tab is left
open for 30 minutes, the PC will automatically terminate the Bluetooth link and the receiver will enter the
lower power consuming Record mode. This auto-disconnect feature, which conserves battery life, will only
occur if “Automatically close inactive receiver connections” is enabled in the Devices section (tab) of the
Options window in VUE (see VUE manual for details).
If the study is not continuing (i.e. the last download of data for this study has occurred), then remove the
battery and store it separately. The used battery may be marked with the amount of life used for future
reference or use.
NOTE
Battery life is consumed from the
time the battery is installed, even
if the VR2Tx is not detecting tags.
NOTE
Always remove the battery when
the receiver is not being used for
an extended period of time.
Lithium metal D-cell batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods and
must be handled according to UN Recommendations on the Transport
of Dangerous Goods (UN3090 for batteries alone; UN3091 for batteries
contained in equipment or packed with it). See the MSDS from the
battery company for more information.
