Charging the Tag - press and hold the power button on the tag until the red light
begins to flash. The tag’s status light will flash until the charge cycle is complete
and then the light will go off. The tag will not function while charging is in
progress.
Charging the Locator - the locator’s battery status indicator will show the charge
level increasing during the charge cycle and then the indicator will show full
when the charging is complete. The locator can be used in any mode while
connected to the charger.
Tag Attachment
To attach the tag to your property you may use any convenient method such as
Velcro or zip ties. Take care not to apply too much pressure on the tag circuit
board when using an attachment method such as zip-ties. The light weight of the
tag makes excessive holding force unnecessary. It is best to place the tag in such
a way that the antenna is most likely to be vertical when the tag is in operation.
Obviously, for applications such as lost RC model recovery, it may not be
possible to know the orientation that the model will be in when it comes to rest
but if it is more likely that the model will land right-side up or upside-down than
on its side so you would want the antenna to be vertical in the normal flight
position. If the tag antenna is horizontal it can have a negative effect on received
signal level and bearing indication for tracking when the locator is very close to
