1.
Program the G211E2 collar host for VIT/Fawn Events. See Section 14 for details. NOTE:
If the G2110E2 was previously programmed for VIT/Fawn Events for use with a
Neolink
VIT, the programming will carry over, as long as the
Neolink
system has not been
disabled with a remote command.
2.
If deploying the G2110E2 collar host at the same time as the fawn collars, place a magnet
on the G2110E2 collar until ready for deployment. Otherwise, no further action is
necessary with the E2.
3.
Upload a SN into the
Neolink
fawn(s). See Section 14 for details.
4.
If deploying two or three fawn collars, they should be synchronized together before
deploying. Fawn collar ‘0’, which is the fawn that has serial number starting with ‘0’, is
the lead fawn. The other fawns will synchronize to it.
To synchronize them, remove or swipe the magnet on a
Neolink
Fawn with the serial
number that begins with a ‘0’. Leave the collar turned on by keeping the magnet off of
fawn ‘0’ until deployment.
Next, listen to the VHF beep pattern of ‘fawn1’, the
Neolink
Fawn with serial number
beginning with ‘1’. Swipe the magnet of ‘fawn’1. There will be silence until it
synchronizes. When it synchronizes, there will be a very long beep. If you do not hear this
very long beep, repeat the process. Listen to ‘fawn1’, swipe the magnet on ‘fawn1’, and
again, listen for the long beep. Once the long beep is heard, ‘fawn1’ is synchronized.
Make sure ‘fawn1’ remains turned on by keeping the magnet off of the collar until
deployment.
If there is third
Neolink
Fawn which will be the fawn that has its serial number beginning
with a ‘2’, remove the magnet at this time. The process is the same. Listen to the VHF of
‘fawn2’, then swipe the magnet on ‘fawn2’. Listen for the long beep that tells you
‘fawn2’ is also synchronized. Make sure ‘fawn2’ is not turned off by leaving the magnet
off until deployment.
Fawns broadcast every 20 seconds, so listening to a synchronization attempt should only
take approximately 20 seconds. Remember, if you have troubles hearing the VHF beeps,
consider tapping the potted part of the fawn collar against a hard surface to open the
magnetic on/off switch, and then reattempt synchronization. This step will set the
Neolink
Fawn broadcasts so that there will be no initial interference issues.
After synchronizing the devices, in order to maintain synchronization, DO NOT apply
magnet(s) to the
Neolink
Fawn Collar(s).
IMPORTANT: Be sure to deploy the collar
before the mortality period is reached. Otherwise, the collars will go into mortality
