The ATLAS PL Personal GPS Locator operates off of two internal Lithium-Ion battery packs. Combined, the two batteries deliver 6.8 – 8.6V to the internal radio circuitry.\u00a0 As the ATLAS PL is used, the batteries discharge, the battery voltage drops, and the RF power will slightly decrease.<\/p>\n

Below is a table showing typical RF power output verses battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The time duration that the ATLAS PL will operate before its batteries must be recharged is dependent upon the GPS mode and the position transmission\/update rate.<\/p>\n

Below is a chart showing approximate battery life.\u00a0 The Green line is if the PL is operating in GPS mode 2, 4, or 9 with the UHF radio receive enabled.\u00a0\u00a0 The Blue line is GPS mode 9 with the receive disabled (Transmits position only).<\/p>\n
