As with all electronic equipment it is important to handle the Easy Locator Core with great care
and to avoid harsh handling and bumps against the antenna box or the tablet. During transport
of the equipment the Easy Locator Core should be packed properly and firmly in a transport box.
When finishing a survey, the equipment should be checked and packed properly before
transport.
Below troubleshoot for connectivity issues is given, together with some good maintenance

Troubleshoot connectivity issues
If you can’t connect to the antenna at all make sure you follow the workflow described
in the section
Start Measurement
or the
MALÅ Controller App Quick Guide
or
MALÅ
Controller App User Manual
.
Make sure everything is configured exactly as
described
.
1.
Ideally set up your system in an
area with minimal Wi-Fi interference
to reduce
potential problems.
2.
Make sure that there is
no other hotspot
with the same network name (SSID) running on
another mobile device. Do this by disable the hotspot and search for Wi-Fi networks. Make
sure there is no other Wi-Fi network with the same SSID as you have set up.
3.
Disable Wi-Fi
on your mobile device and then
turn off
and
turn on the hotspot
.
4.
Make sure
you’re
using the
correct SSID
for the hotspot (MALAxxxxxxxx). The xxxxxxxx
indicate the serial number of your GPR antenna. Also check the password, which should be
mala0123
5.
Make sure that the antenna
batteries are charged
. For Easy Locator Core, the indicator on
the batteries should have at least two bars. The LED may be on even though there is not
enough battery power to initiate connection to MALÅ Controller App.
6.
If that doesn't work,
restart the MALÅ Controller App
on your mobile device and wait for
at least 30 seconds. This is done by
“Close
all”
or swipe off the app in the Recent view
(button with three lines or a square).
7.
If you still cannot get connection, or if you for some reason would lose connection to the
antenna,
press the
ON/OFF
button on the antenna
5 times
within 5 seconds. This will
reinitialize the antenna and reset the connection. Please note that this may take up to 2
minutes.
8.
If that doesn’t work press and
hold the ON/OFF button
to turn the antenna off
completely, then power it on again.
