Backlight
Each time you press a button on the locator the display’s backlight will come on
for 5 seconds. The Select 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. Keep in mind that using the backlight
for extended periods will shorten the battery life of the locator.
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, press 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.
