+
+    Follow these guidelines when deciding where to mount your Lighthouse base stations:
+
+    .. On the headstage64, the photodiodes allow can accommodate up to at least distance 3m between the lighthouse receivers and transmitters. THIS REQUIRES CONFIRMATION TO INCLUDE IN DOCS, OTHERWISE DELETE.
+
+    - They should be centered above and facing the area the behavioral arena
+    - The lighthouses should have the same orientation.
+    - The distance between the receiver and the transmitters should not exceed
+      the maximum range. This depends on the sensitivity of the receiver's
+      photodiode on the headstage and is best determined experimentally. Each
+      base station has a 120° field of view. However, the lighthouse receivers
+      have a higher chance loosing line of sight of the transmitters at these
+      larger angles if the headstage tilts. 
+    - Position measurements are noisier when receivers are at the boundary of the
+      transmitters' range, so leave a safe margin. 
+    - A receiver must be in range of *both* transmitters in order to measure
+      position. 
+    - Secure the base stations such that they can't be easily jostled or moved.

+        the region where a TS4231 device is in range of both base stations and
+        can measure position.

+        multimodal neural recording and perturbation during naturalistic
+        behavior <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-024-02521-1>`_. The
+        lighthouse transmitters are mounted on the ceiling and their range cover
+        the entire ~2m range. The blue line represents a mouse's movement over
+        ~8 hours.
+
+    .. tip::
+      To confirm if the base station configuration covers the entire behavioral arena, slowly move 
+      the TS4231 device through the entire arena while running 
+      `an example workflow <https://open-ephys.github.io/bonsai-onix1-docs/articles/hardware/hs64/workflow.html>`_ and
+      `inspecting the TS4231V1PositionData position data visualizer <https://open-ephys.github.io/bonsai-onix1-docs/articles/getting-started/visualize-data.html>`_. 
+      If the TS4231V1PositionData operator ceases to produce data (i.e. if the visualizer stops updating) 
+      at a certain spot, the current base station configuration does not cover that spot. If you are unfamiliar with 
+      using Bonsai to acquire Onix data to do this, visit the OpenEphys.Onix1 Bonsai package 
+      `Getting Started page <https://open-ephys.github.io/bonsai-onix1-docs/articles/getting-started/index.html>`_.

 2. Connect one power adaptor to each base station.

 3. Using an audio to audio cable, connect the basestations to each other to
    synchronise them.
