Data Sheet

3. Once communications with the tag have started (i.e. the locator is

beeping once every 5 seconds) use the directional display to determine

which general direction to proceed. If you can not get a directional arrow

take the following steps:

a. Make certain you are holding the locator in front of you, waist high

and level to the ground.

b. If possible, move to a clear, unobstructed area away from buildings,

automobiles, hills, etc. Higher ground is always better if available.

c. If you do not get a reading facing one direction, turn 90 degrees and

try again. Once you get a directional arrow, always turn to face

directly in that direction, with the arrow straight ahead. Walking

away from the tag will not produce good results.

d. When you first get a directional indication it is best to qualify it to

make certain that you are moving towards the tag and not away from

it. To do this, turn your body so that the arrow points straight ahead,

now turn 90 degrees and check to see if the arrow still points in the

same general direction. If it does then that direction is correct. If the

arrow now points in the opposite direction of what it did originally,

turn your body to face that direction, if the arrow confirms that

direction then it is the correct path to the tag.

e. When far away from the tag the directional arrows will show the

general path to take to get closer (e.g. up the street vs. down the

street). If the tag is far away you know that its direction from your

location can not change quickly so don’t try to gauge each step based

on the arrow, just move along the road or path until you see a

consistent change in the indicated direction. Verify that the signal

strength is generally increasing (more signal strength bars, higher

percentage readings and/or more beeps) as you move along.

f. When you are close to the tag the directional information will

become much more sensitive. For example, if the tag was in a bush

just to the right of the path you are walking on you might see the

arrow point forward as you approach. Then 5 seconds later the next

reading may point directly to the right because you are now next to

the bush. If you kept walking, 5 seconds later the arrow would be

pointing behind you because you have now passed the bush. This

will allow you to find the exact location of the tagged object.

g. When driving you will generally be using the beep tones as your

guide while you search in a “hotter/colder” fashion. When you get to
