RD4000T10 OPERATION
Switching the transmitter on/off
Press the on/off key once to switch the transmitter on. Press the key again to enter the menu mode.
To switch the unit off, press the on/off button until the LCD display clears.
Checking battery level
The battery level indicator is situated at the top right hand side of the display and is made up of four segments.
As the remaining battery life reduces the segments change colour from black to clear to indicate the amount of
battery life left. When there is one black segment left the 'Almost Discharged' indication will flash and the battery
discharge alarm will sound until the battery is discharged.
Note: Ensure that you always have enough batteries available to complete the task.
Selecting a frequency in locate mode
The frequencies are those chosen by the customer at the time of transmitter purchase. If the values of the
frequencies require changing when the unit is in-service, the unit can be re-configured by using the web-
enabling feature (does not apply to induction frequencies).
