If you wish to cancel a searching operation then press the Tag button twice until
both Track and Monitor disappear from the display.
Tracking
Once the searching operation has been successful the tracking display will appear
as shown in Figure 8.
When the tracking mode is activated the locator communicates with the tag about
once every 4 seconds. When the tag responds, the following information is
updated on the display:
1. The “tag” icon flashes to show that the tag responded to the locator.
2. The signal strength received from the tag is measured and converted to a
percentage that ranges from 0% to 99%. 99% means you are very near to
the tag, 0% means you are far away.
3. The signal strength received from the tag is also displayed as a number
of “bars” (like the signal strength bars on your cell phone). The more
bars that are showing the closer you are to the tag.
4. If the locator is in an area where there are not too many obstructions, a
directional arrow will display showing the direction of the tag.
In addition to the displayed information listed above, the locator will sound a
number of beeps each time the tag responds. A single beep means that the tag is
not in the immediate vicinity, two beeps means fairly close and three beeps
indicate the tag is in close proximity. You can use this audible feedback for
hands free searching while driving or to allow you to concentrate on your footing
