The lenses on the RX3 receiver can be interchanged to
match the LED colours shown on the alarm head.
To change the lens colour simply insert a blunt, flat
edge under the lens and lift upwards Here we have
used the corner of a Micron EOS battery compartment
key, but any similar item such as a small screwdriver
would be suitable.
STAND, BELT CLIP AND MAGNETIC
BIVVY HOLSTER
The receiver is provided with a number of accessories
to hold the receiver, in different conditions of use.
Stand & belt clip – the RX3 is provided with two differ-
ent battery covers, one of which incorporates a fold-
out stand and the other of which incorporates a belt
clip. Note that reception range will be reduced when
the unit is worn in close proximity to the body (see
later notes).
Magnetic bivvy holster – this may be used to attach
the unit to the inside of a bivvy. Hold the holster up to
the inside wall of the bivvy and place the magnet on
the opposite side, so that the fabric is gripped
between the magnet and the rear of the holster. Place
the unit into the holster.
OBTAINING BEST PERFORMANCE FROM
THE RX3 RECEIVER
The operating range of the RX3 receiver, like all low
power radio systems, is highly dependant on the condi-
tions of use and can be adversely affected by the posi-
tion of both transmitter and receiver, the terrain over
which it is being used, the prevailing atmospheric con-
ditions and the presence of any interfering signals.
To obtain best performance, it is recommended that
you –
(1) Ensure that your alarm head units are set-up as
far as possible above ground level.
(2) Keep the RX3 receiver as high above ground as
possible – if worn on the body, it should be worn
as high as possible (a shoulder pocket or
epaulette is ideal)
(3) Avoid wearing the unit close to the body – it should
be worn on the outside of your clothing
(4) Try to keep a direct “line-of-sight” between the
receiver and transmitter – obstructions such as
trees, buildings, etc may cause loss of signal, or
reflections of the signal, resulting in “dead spots”.
(5) Do not keep the RX3 receiver in the same pocket
as a mobile phone, or other electronic device.
(6) Ensure both your receiver and your alarms have
good batteries.
If all the above points are adhered to, a working range
of up to 500 metres may be obtained. All the above
hints become progressively less important, as the
working range is reduced.
Remember to use the system responsibly – the RX3
receiver has been designed to give a long operating
range in order to maximise reliability at close range
and
NOT to encourage users to leave their rods in the
water unattended, whilst they are hundreds of metres
away.
