Important Dos for Deployment

• Conduct a Pre-Deployment Test
  Test the device for at least one month before deployment to ensure functionality and familiarize yourself with the tracking system.

• Verify Data Transmission
  Ensure cellular and satellite transmission models collect data and transmit it via methods other than Intelink at least three times before deployment.

• Fully Charge the Battery
  Fully charge the device battery before deployment to avoid data gaps during the initial stage.

• Activate Data Service
  Ensure the device's data subscription status is set to Active and that additional data is subscribed before deployment.

• Set Appropriate Intervals
  Avoid setting too frequent GNSS and transmission intervals. GNSS and transmission Intervals shorter than 1 hour are for test purposes only. Consult the support team if necessary.

• Adjust for Nestling Stage
  Set the working interval to 1 day or longer if the individual is still nestling. Shorten intervals only if the individual has left the nest.

• Turn On and Deliver Settings
  Ensure the device is turned on and settings are delivered before deployment. Cellular models can be turned on remotely, but others cannot.

• Whitelist Terminal Devices
  Add terminal devices to the HUB whitelist and ensure the HUB has transmitted once so it can recognize them.

• Check Solar Panel Coverage
  Ensure the solar panel is not partially or fully covered by feathers. Consider the animal's body movement and molting.

• Correct Device Placement
  Position the device correctly during deployment. The solar panel should face upwards or outwards. The side with the Druid logo should face the bird's head or be positioned upwards. External antennas should point towards the bird's tail.
