Once the Track icon is flashing you can either start the search process
immediately by pressing the Select button or you can simply wait 5 seconds and
the locator will enter track mode automatically. The first thing the locator does in
tracking mode is send out a signal to get the tag’s attention, a process called
“searching”. Figure 7 shows the appearance of the display in searching mode.
This searching transmission will continue until one of these events has occurred:
1. The tag responds
2. The operation is canceled as described below
3. Two minutes have elapsed without a response from the tag
The first time you attempt to search for a tag do so with the tag nearby,
somewhere in your house or yard where you know the signal will be received.
This way you can practice with the locator and know what to expect if an
emergency arises. Normally, the tag will respond to the searching signal within
30 seconds but in some cases it can take up to a minute. If the tag does not
respond within a minute then make certain it is turned on and review the
information on “Pairing a Tag and Locator” above if necessary. If the searching
operation times out after two minutes the locator will begin beeping, the
Searching icon will disappear and the display will show “No Signal”. Pressing
the select button again will restart the search operation for another 2 minutes.
Once the tag does respond the locator will beep and the display will appear as
shown in Figure 8.
