Indeed, the monolith sent the radio transmission when sunlight hit it for
the first time after it was buried back in pre-history. (And according to
the book, it was found due to a "magnetic anomoly" which was presumedly the
circulating currents holding the energy for the transmission, altho I don't
remember if that was mentioned in the movie.)
