Best practices for using Model B Capturs

The tracker can be used in an omnidirectional way and had good results
during several emission tests. Nevertheless, optimal performance will be
assured by properly positioning the tracker. Not respecting positioning advice
can cause signal loss and failure of some position messages.
Metallic environment:
A metallic environment can disturb Sigfox's radio and lead to signal losses. Do
not use Capturs near a metallic object (a canteen).
Fix GPS:
When it has not worked for a while, the GPS needs to know the satellite's
position. It will automatically download data that it will keep in its memory to
have its position quickly at the next fix.
Also, the first fix can be longer, depending on environmental conditions. A
clear environment during the first fix will improve system performance.
GPS does not work inside, but Sigfox network is often operational. Information
on the movement without indication on the position can be exploited in the
software with total transparency for the user, improving his capabilities.
Model B Capturs position:
Vertical position (up)
Put the tracker preferably with the eyelet up and the Capturs logo on the top.
Do not tie the tracker with the eyelet, that will cause a swinging movement that
will reduce performances. Ideally, put it in an outside pocket of your bag in the
indicated position.
Horizontal position (down)
Preferably, put the tracker with the Capturs logo on the top.
When carried by someone
Radio waves will perform better with fewer obstacles, which will mean better
real-time performance.
Ideally, you should wear it in an outside pocket of your bag in the indicated
position. Avoid places where the tracker moves too much.
