Data Sheet

intersections, hold the locator up above the dashboard and see if you

can get a directional arrow to guide you which way to turn. If not,

choose a direction and note if the signal is getting stronger (more

beeps) or weaker (fewer beeps). If you drive outside the range of the

system then after 10 tries of not being able to communicate with the

tag (about 50 seconds) the locator will automatically start searching

for the tag again to restart communications. If this happens, turn

around and go back to the area where you last had contact with the

tag.

h. It is generally fastest to stay in the car until you have found the point

on the road that gives you the highest number of beeps. Proceed

along until the number of beeps goes down and then go back to

where you received the highest signal and then proceed on foot.

Always stop and proceed on foot if you hear three beeps, you are

very close to the tag!

i. Note that it is possible to use the locator to measure elevation angle

as well as azimuth angle (angle about the horizon). If you reach a

point in your search were you are receiving a high signal level but

the bearing indication is absent or confusing, the tag may be above

you, such as in a tree or on a rooftop. If you hold the locator as

though you are looking into a hand mirror, the bearing display will

show the elevation angle off of the ground. Move left or right to get

the arrow to point straight up. Then turn 90 degrees and once again

move to the right or left. Once you see a 12 O’clock arrow when

facing either direction you are directly under the tag.

At all times when using the system while in a vehicle, follow safe

driving procedures, use hands-free operation and whenever possible

have a companion with you to operate the locator.

Monitoring a Tag

One of the most unique and powerful features of your Marco Polo system is the

ability to monitor a tag’s proximity 24 hours a day to ensure that it has not been

taken off your property or outside of another designated area. To get the most out

of the monitoring features of the system you will need to customize the settings

for your individual situation. After this is done you will not need to adjust the

settings unless you change locations or wish to alter the way Marco Polo notifies

you about a missing object.
