4.1. Deactivating the Alarm Function 

 
For Locating Beeper PRO (with integrated battery) the alarm function 
must be deactivated by a certain sequence (servo signal) before the 
receiver can be turned off. Because the receiver’s voltage drops and 
the servo signal starts missing also when purposely turning the 
receiver off, the Locating Beeper would recognize this as an error and 
starting outputting the alarm codes. This is not desired in this case! 
 

Hint: 
The Locating Beeper PRO must be deactivated before 
turning the receiver off – otherwise an alarm is triggered! 

 
In order to inhibit undesired alarm output the servo signal must be 
switched 2 times between 2 values in between a certain period (pass 
and fail). This can be accomplished by a toggle switch in the 
transmitter. In a model, the function can also be combined with the tow 
release (or the choke servo in a motor driven model). 
 
The user must switch the servo channel 2 times between 2 values 
(value 1 < -100%, value 2 > -100%) before turning the receiver off! 
 
Only then the alarm function will be deactivated which is acknowledged 
by the buzzer with a confirmation tone (3 beeps). 
 
If the receiver is not turned off within 60 seconds, the alarm function is 
reactivated again.
