General Kahi Tracking Beacon and Battery Information

General information about the Kahi tracking beacons and batteries.

🔋 Battery Life 🪫

• The beacons use a CR2477 Lithium Cell battery.
  • Hot Tip: If needed in a pinch, CR2450 Lithium Cell batteries can also work. You may need to press down on the inner casing a bit more to ensure they are touching.
• The batteries have a life expectancy of about 2 years or more. 
• You will get a 'low battery' alert for a beacon running low on power (50% life left), which will escalate to a 'critical low battery' alert (25% life) if not changed.

➕ Battery Insertion ➕

• When installing the battery into the beacon, ensure the battery is "+" side UP. When sliding in, a blue light will flash for a brief second under the beacon panel. This is best viewed in low light

💦 Beacon Durability 💨

• When threaded tightly, the beacons are 100% protected against solid objects like dust and sand and have been tested to work for at least 30 minutes while under 15cm to 1m of water. They are IP67* rated.
  
  
  
  *What is IP67? If a product has an IP67 rating, that indicates it is "waterproof." The 6 indicates "complete protection against dust over extended time" as well as "protection against contact with objects greater than 1mm in diameter, such as a wire or a small tool."
