the tag. When the tag and locator are farther apart, more than 100 feet or so, there

is only a small effect from the tag’s antenna being horizontal vs vertical.

Powering On the Locator and Tag

To power on the locator: Press and hold the Power button (see the User

Controls and Displays section for the location of the power button) until all of the

display segments flash and the locator beeps twice.

To power on the tag: Press and hold the Power button until the Status light

flashes. The number of flashes indicates the tag’s battery charge status. Three

sets of three flashes means fully charged, three sets of two flashes is partially

charged and one flash in each set indicates the tag requires of charging before

further use. If the tag’s status light shows one long flash it is turning off. If the

tag is “busy” it may not respond to the off command, press the Power button

again until the one long flash is shown. When the tag is on the light will flash

briefly once every 10 seconds.

Pairing a Tag and Locator

If you purchase the Marco Polo locator with one included tag then no pairing

operation is needed and you may proceed directly to the “Tracking a Tag”

section below. If you purchased additional tags or if you have received a

replacement tag then you will need to transfer the unique ID code of the tag into

the locator before the tag can be used. To do this, first turn the tag off but keep it

nearby. Next, press and hold the Select button until Setup and Learn appear on

the display. Press the down arrow button so that Learn is flashing and then press

select to enter the learn mode. Now press the Tag button (1, 2 or 3) that you wish

to assign to the new tag. “Searching” will now flash on the locator.

Once the locator is in learn mode you have 20 seconds to turn the power on to the

tag you wish to assign to the selected Tag button on the locator. If the tag and

locator are successfully paired then the locator will beep two short beeps and the

Learn display will disappear. If you wait too long to turn the tag on or if there is

an error you will hear one long beep and the locator display will say “No Signal”.

If this happens, turn the tag power off again and repeat the above process until

the two beeps are heard.
