Sigfox Oyster - Changing Batteries

Sigfox Oyster - Changing Batteries

What Happens After the Batteries Are Inserted
  1. The internal LED will begin to flash for a period of time to indicate that the device is operational.
  2. The LED will then turn off and will not be used again to save power.
  3. The Oyster tries to get a GPS fix to obtain an up to date time and position from the satellites. It will try to get a GPS fix for up to 10 minutes so it is a good idea to place the Oyster in an area where it has a reasonable view of the sky, either outdoors or near a window.
