This Travel Bug particularly likes geocaches in sunny locations.
About the UV Sensor
Comprising a metal sensor plate and a yellow filter overlay, the UV
sensor changes colour in just a few seconds when exposed to the sun’s
UVA rays.
This Travel Bug is so named to remind of the problem of holes in the
ozone layer caused by CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions. Areas of the world
under such holes endure extremely high UVA levels.
Please do your part to personally minimise your energy use and CO2
emissions:
- Support global initiatives to address industrial emissions.
- Walk and/or use public transport wherever possible, in preference to
using your own car.
- Change to energy efficient light bulbs.
- Ensure your home is well insulated to minimise heat loss.
- Turn off lights and appliances (turning off is preferable to leaving
on standby) after use.
- Consider timer switches for things such as heaters.
- If possible, consider alternatively powered vehicle(s) (e.g. LPG)
and/or home solar/wind power generation.
- Learn more about your Carbon Footprint:
www.carbonfootprint.com.
Using the UV Sensor
Remove the yellow filter to expose the picture on the fob to sunlight
for 15 seconds.
Compare the colour change to the simple scale below to inform your
decision on what level of protection you need.

capsule), please take a look at the Faber Optimé Travel Bug Maintenance Manual.

Retrieved and taking to Rotorua to test the UV levels down here. Don't think they are as high as elsewhere in the country. Nice cache.
