Data Sheet

Backlight

Each time you press a button on the locator the display’s backlight will come on

for 5 seconds. A short press of the down arrow button can be used to turn on the

backlight for 5 seconds when needed without affecting the search or tracking

functions. If you need the backlight to be on for a more extended time, short

presses of the Power button will latch the backlight on or off. The high efficiency

LED backlighting has little impact on the locator’s battery life so you can use it

whenever it helps improve the visibility of the display, such as in shaded areas.

Sounds

The locator sounds various beep tones to indicate key presses, range indications,

monitor alarms and error conditions. To silence all beep tones, press and hold the

Down Arrow button on the locator for 2 seconds - the display backlight will

come on to indicate you have held the button long enough. To reactivate the beep

tones, press and hold the Down Arrow button again. Note: audible alarms for

monitoring may also be individually configured for each tag, see the section on

Monitoring Setups. To test if sounds are turned on, give a short press of the

Select button and listen for the beep tone.

Tracking a Tag

Searching

Once your Marco Polo tag is turned on and placed on the object you may track

its whereabouts at any time. To do this, simply turn the locator on and press the

Tag button over the name or initial of the object you wish to track. When you do

this the Track icon will begin to flash as shown in Figure 6.
