Specifications, performance and accuracy are valid for the warranted battery life and only when data are recorded using Dataquest A.R.T. with factory-supplied calibration values. Transmitters may work over wider ranges with reduced accuracy.

*An externally worn telemetry repeater is available to allow retransmission of the telemetry signals using multiple frequencies over a long range (3-10 m). This also permits the use of smaller transmitter models in large animals.
